I write and illustrate about nature and moments of family life. I enjoy the challenge of distilling my ideas to their essence so that they fit within the compact and poetic format of a picture or board book.I teach both online and in person, using my own curriculum that combines science and drawing. Students draw from observation, while they learn well-researched and wondrous things about the natural world.I live in Northern California with my husband, two teens (one of whom is off to college), and my cat. If you are interested in seeing a dummy of one of my books, please contact me. I am actively seeking representation.
