| Bio: | I am an award winning toy inventor* traveling the wild ride to become a published children’s author.
I am very passionate concerning the need to increase art education in our schools. Not surprisingly, art and creativity are a theme in all my books.
I also run the Art Volunteer in the Classroom program at our elementary school, create new product concepts for an idea development company, consult for a craft company, and teach art and craft classes.
Having lived all over the country, I currently live in the Chicago suburbs with my husband, 3 great kids, 2 cats, and my shadow, an Australian Shepherd named Cooper.
I am very sarcastic and have a dry sense of humor (which gets me in trouble sometimes).
*Hey, other people I know, who have received some of the same awards, claim that title. Why can’t I??
