Hello!  I am an illustrator and author for children's books. Connecting words and pictures to the imagination of the reader...it is absolutely the best job ever! Through the years, I have had the honor of illustrating for many award-winning publishers including books, magazines and the education market. I also enjoy working with select Indie publishers and self-publishing my own books through my imprint, Flannel Moose Books. I am available to illustrate board books, picture books, and chapter books.  In addition, I welcome the creative challenge of hidden pictures and activity/game pages. You can connect with me on the Contact page.

A native Virginian, I live in the gorgeous Shenandoah Valley where inspiration is everywhere you look. I love spending time with my hubs, family, precocious grandson, our crazy dogs and toothless calico. 

Also a graphic design professional, I am experienced in publication/book design, marketing collateral, logo design, advertising, etc.  For samples, visit my design page.

Your story is still being written...make it a good one.
