I was lucky to grow up in a home filled with art. My dad was an artist, so creativity was part of everyday life. By the time I was six, I was already painting with oils on canvas at my very own easel—feeling like a little grown-up artist! Whether I had a pencil, paintbrush, or book in hand, I was always exploring something creative.

As a kid, I started making my own comic books, which sparked my love for both writing and illustrating. That eventually led to designing my own Valentine’s cards—each one with an original poem straight from the heart.

Now, more than sixty years later, I’ve published two children’s books filled with poetry and illustrations, along with six books of “painted poetry” reflecting on life and love.

I’d love for you to come along on this creative journey. Maybe one of my poems, drawings, or stories will spark something special in you—bringing back memories of your own unique, imaginative, and beautifully artistic life. Enjoy!
