Born in Madison, Maine, I have lived in Maine all of my life.  In my early years, I was tutored under the renowned Bangor artist, Frank Nanatonis.  After graduating from Winterport High School, I studied by correspondence with the Minneapolis School of Fine Art.  I am currently studying with Maine artists, Celene Farris of Morrill and Barbara Applegate of Bristol Mills.

 

While my three sons were growing up, I put my aspirations on hold.  I painted in my spare time and also became interested in writing children's stories.  I am published in the New York Times Bestseller Book, "Chicken Soup for a Kid's Soul".  You may have seen me at my book signings or on my television interviews.

 

I am a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators The Maine Highlands Guild; Maine Made Products; The Maine Art Commission and The Bangor Art Society.

 

My work may be seen in private and corporate collections.  I am represented by The Working Art Gallery in Belfast, Maine.
