One day I had a talk with a friend from my long ago college days. He asked me, "Why don't you write your own books? I know you can write well and I've seen your art." It was the final push I needed to finally write and illustrate my first book. Thanks for the advice, Tommy. The story takes place in two locations that mirror each other -- a classroom on earth and another in heaven. In both places, a student named Arilla strives to be the best that she can be. Like all of us, there have been times when you wanted to be selected and cried out, "Pick me!" We all know how to do that. But, Arilla…mehr

One day I had a talk with a friend from my long ago college days. He asked me, "Why don't you write your own books? I know you can write well and I've seen your art." It was the final push I needed to finally write and illustrate my first book. Thanks for the advice, Tommy. The story takes place in two locations that mirror each other -- a classroom on earth and another in heaven. In both places, a student named Arilla strives to be the best that she can be. Like all of us, there have been times when you wanted to be selected and cried out, "Pick me!" We all know how to do that. But, Arilla thought about the process every time she wasn't selected, and made the necessary changes. Eventually, she was selected for the most perfect of all jobs. This story about Arilla is inspired by my grandmother, the first artist in my family tree. Grandma couldn't draw like me, but she was very crafty. Her Christmas presents were always homemade. She made mittens, ornaments, slippers, and a whole lot more for each of her grandchildren. If you were very lucky, you might get a sweater, scarf, or cap. And, each grandchild received a quilt. It was entirely hand-sewn. Anything else was considered cheating. I know it's a grandmother's job to have a lasting impact on the lives of her grandchildren. My grandma certainly succeeded in that. She had a positive influence on each and every person she met. This one's for you, Grandma!

Autorenporträt
I have been a blessed traveler. I've heard tales of travel disasters when wanderers like me meet up with the wrong kinds of people on their journey. Or, I've heard of others who say that they were not very welcomed wherever it was they roamed. That just hasn't been my story! Wherever I go, no matter what corner of the planet, I have encountered the world at its best. I do believe that part of this comes down to reaping what you sow. If you spread a little kindness along your way, people are much more likely to shovel sugar back at you. And, in my experience, it has been difficult to out-give the kindness of the friends that I have met on my path. I get help from so many sources. I rely on taxi drivers, hotel staff, and restaurant servers. And, since I have started coloring the world with murals, so many other doors have opened up to me. Thank you to all the many people who have crossed my path. There truly are too many to name.
