It's been a while since I wrote a blog post, but that's because I've been head down, but seated, working hard on the Spacious Tarot and my new picture book. I can't talk about the picture book too much right now (I think) but I'll post a snippet of the illustrations I've been refining. Still wating on the green light to make final art but it's getting there!
You’ve seen some of it already, but here’s the illustration style of a new book in the works.
In the meantime, I have moved from OC to NorCal, closer to family. I love it. I love them.
I'm looking for more involvement with my community and finding it through regular coffee shop visits and lots of walks downtown.
Taking a painting class at the local college to get my feet wet with oil paints and explore some concepts that have been inside of me, waiting to emerge. For instance, I realize most art before the 1900s were made for men only. What do women want to see in art? What subjects, what colors. How do you want it to make you FEEL?? I'd love your thoughts on this.
And also working on another draft of my MG novel. What are you reading these days? What do your kids love to read? I need some recommendations!!

Here’s my face saying hi, friends!!!
