I grew up in Montana on the Flathead Indian Reservation, an area with a rich history.  I am a lifelong artist and writer, quite interested in children's literature and the meaning and psychology of fairy tales.  I illustrate my own books with the aim of enhancing the reader's experience through color and emotion.  I love a good story: a mystery, romance, comedy, or tragedy, but I enjoy fantasy most of all!   My recent work is in that genre.
