I take great pleasure in sharing my own childhood experiences through children’s books to kindle the simple joys of friendship and kindness in the young and young-at-heart.

With the release of “The Friendship Tales: Lili Bunny’s Quest,” I have launched a planned quartet of stories involving young rabbits and their eye-opening adventures. I am working on the second tale in this series to be launched in 2027.

It is challenging and immensely satisfying to be able to be both the writer and the illustrator for these stories. I hope that you are delighted and inspired by “The Friendship Tales: Lili Bunny’s Quest.”

About the Author

I have been an artist all my life, with additional jobs and responsibilities that have given me lots of meaningful experiences. As I’ve aged, I realize that all these past experiences are interconnected. They all involve sharing what it means to be human.

I have been making art, writing stories, producing television and radio programs and being one of the first female disc jockeys in the 1970’s; I’ve been the executive director of a nationally accredited art museum, co-owned a community printmaking studio,  taught printmaking, drawing, painting and journal-making, and exhibited my own art which has happily found its way into national and private collections. In essence, I have always been involved in communicating what this experience called “life” is all about. My new stories are just part of this plan.

I am also a family person---a wife, mother of three grown children and grandmother of three. I adore playing with my young grandchildren, introducing them to the world of telling stories, making art and cultivating their gardens.

I am also the best friend to our Beagle, Banjo, who is a very funny dog indeed. I’m a life-long gardener and lover of historic places.

All this to say, this is the material from which my creativity arises. Living life as an artist has been a good life.
