ARTIST STATEMENT
I write in many genres, but I’m focused on picture books these days. I have published movie reviews, newspaper articles, and poetry. I do not limit myself to any one genre, but allow my writing to go where it needs to flow naturally. I’ve illustrated locally, including a comic strip in my hometown high school and college newsletters. I also have a RedBubble shop set up for some of my work.
