Bio:

I started my creative life as a painter. My imagination harbors a lot of hot, gritty, complicated themes that didn't always lend themselves well to brushes and paint. I had to find another medium to share my thoughts and that's when I discovered words were the ultimate art tools. I secretly think of word groups as colors or moods and layer them into a story the same way I would build texture onto a canvas.

I've been fortunate to live an adventurous life with the love of my life and fellow artist at my side. My husband and I share our lives with a wonderful son and a very sweet border collie named Molly.
