I am the writer and illustrator of I Need Chocolate Milk! and I Need Strawberry Milk! But more importantly, I am the proud mother of two very imaginative and lovable children, who constantly require (you guessed it) chocolate milk. When I am not writing and drawing, I am also drinking chocolate milk with them. I was an Army Brat and married an Army Officer so have lived all over the world to include Germany, Kuwait, and the United States. I currently live with my husband and children in Phoenix, Arizona.
I use many different tools and mediums to create art but I am a life-long pencil artist, originally working in black & white and grayscale. Recently, I discovered color in Prismacolor and Caran D'ache colored pencils. I prefer paper with lots of texture and often work on watercolor paper, pastelmat, and Strathmore Bristol and toned papers.
My children are my inspiration.
"To me there is no picture so beautiful as smiling, bright-eyed, happy children; no music so sweet as their clear and ringing laughter." P.T. Barnum
