I have been a professional
author/illustrator for many years and have written and/or illustrated
over 40 books. I graduated from Parsons School of Design in New York
with a BFA in illustration. I also earned my Montessori certificate in
early education from the Bank Street College and was a preschool teacher for
several years in NYC. That experience gave me a good foundation in how to teach art. I live in New York's Mid-Hudson Valley with my husband, dog and cats. I have a grown daughter who now lives in NYC.
