I began my children's book career over 50 years ago as a student of Maurice Sendak at Yale. Once introduced, the picture book genre captivated my imagination with its unique blend of story and illustration. So I write and illustrate...also work as international literary rights agent, editorial consultant and puppeteer!

My devotion to the art of picture books is best explained by a favorite quote by author/illustrator, Robert Lawson…

"It is difficult, if not impossible, to know which of the myriad of

children’s books will penetrate a given child’s own magic circle

of existence and strike the clarion note of pure truth.

No one can possibly tell what tiny detail of a drawing or what seemingly

trivial phrase in a story will be the spark that sets off a great flash in the

mind of some child, and will glow there for life."

I hope that my books continue to touch souls, young and old, in this way.

I live in my native Colorado mountains and travel often to our family camp on a pristine

lake in Maine. I love anything outside in nature, including hiking, skiing, paddling, fishing,

snowshoeing, yoga, and just being in the quiet. I also love guitar, piano and the company of good music, including John Denver! And I love animals, especially my golden retriever, Piney Gurl!
