I've been writing and creating art all my life. I have always wanted to have my work published and I've been lucky that over the past few years I have had 2 of my books published and some of my paintings published as well. Over the last ten years my work has been more toward painting my own unique style of American Folk Art. It's a balancing act really. My art is really a passion that I found when I lived in Florida. Then when my first book "Miratambo Moonsong" was published in 2004. I had the chance to re-create the illustrations from drawings to paintings, and that's where it all comes together for me. When my second book "In a place called Barrontippeny" was published and I really dedicated my time to produce the illustrations it was one of the best projects I had ever done. So, it's a culmination of both for me. In the last year I've had another book published on line. I again painted a whole new set of illustrations for it. So here I am. I consider myself an Artist, Illustrator and Author. I love doing all of these things.         

I have a new children's book coming out titled
"A Polka Dotted Pine Tree in Pipladunka."

Published Artist and Author.
I have licensed a painting from my portfolio and it is published in a calendar for 2014 in Japan.
I have had my art published in magazines and newspapers many times.
