I have been creating in one way or another all of my life.  And now, after raising 7 children and following my Air Force husband around the world for 24 years, I find myself living in a house full of plants and animals, with a big garden, and a bit of time for art.

I attended Brigham Young University, majoring in Fine Art. I also got my BA in illustration from Utah State University.  I currently belong to the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and the Utah Watercolor Society , where I am the Membership chairperson.
