I’ve been involved in the world as a creative all my life. In fact, we are pretty sure I was born with a pack of crayons in my hand though, having had a child of my own, I hope it was without the edgy cardboard box for my mother’s sake. I scribbled and sold my first logo when I was a junior in high school while writing poetry and jotting down the occasional short story idea.

Twenty-three years later…

I really do believe that you are put where you are meant to be. I enjoy playing muse. It is as much of a learning experience as it is a “mentoring” role. I have found great joy in being able to help others grow confident in their own work, watching it bloom and flourish. I don’t take any credit, I am just happy to have been close enough to watch the process. I know how it feels when I receive encouragement and have spent as much of my time as possible since then trying to give that back. To some it can be life-changing, I know it has been to me in the past.

Writing is lifeblood for me as much as my art, sometimes even more so, though that is hard for me to imagine. I love reading so much that writing stories was the next logical step. Children’s books were a lifelong dream, both for the writing and for the illustrations, then I dared to dream of being a novelist.

Hook. Line. Sinker.
