There is a place for angst and distress in art. There is also a place for sanctuary from it.

I prefer the sanctuary.

So as I walk in nature, whether it is a thousand miles across the country or in my own yard, I seek the peace I find there and try to store it within myself to draw from when I sit down to write or paint, in hopes of sharing it with others.

“I have always been a country girl at heart and now enjoy writing, painting and living with my husband and critters in the wooded coastal range of Northern California, where I have turned my endeavors to two things I have always loved: writing for children and painting for everyone.”
