My first book, Over the Moon, was the story of that magical experience of welcoming our daughter Lena into our lives. Looking back, I can see that these passions and career choices have played a large part in influencing me to become a children’s book author and illustrator.īut most importantly, it was after my husband I adopted our daughter from Guatemala that I was inspired to do a children’s book for her. The careers I’ve had – as a costume designer, a quilt maker, a fabric artist, and a graphic designer – have taken all these interests into account. Indian miniatures, Mexican ceramics, fabrics, Chagall, Matisse, children’s art, and promitive painting, and I love to paint and experiment with pattern, texture, collage and color.
