I call myself the Ancient Editor because I got into children's books back in the days before computers or even fax machines.  And I was very lucky to be given a free hand in most everything related to creating the books, especially working with wonderful illustrators.

 

 

Painting for me began as a distraction and became an overwhelming interest that led me to take classes in drawing and to study the masters. I was greatly encouraged when the first painting I exhibited sold.  The idea that something I created is enjoyed by another is enormously satisfying.

Gardening is a passion and I can't drag myself inside throughout the month of June.  What beautiful, beautiful days!

 

 

​

Other interests include freelance editing, dancing , yoga, teaching with my friend author- illustrator Steve Henry, and enjoying the company of my husband, Tom, and our cats, Stanley and Felix.
