I am a lover of the alive line - pencil, pen, brush and word -
of expression, connection and communication in all its forms.

It all began with the alphabet. My fascination with letters led me to calligraphy, book making, big brush gestures and collaborative performance art.

Illustrated journaling and visual blogging have also offered fresh and immediate ways to engage.

I invite you to explore the lines of connection offered here.

May they awaken the aliveness within us all.

Visit True Nature : A Visual Blog

My latest blog from a lively and creative time with one hundred 7th graders !

 

I write and illustrate for children because I trust the process of gathering these stories, in all their complexity, and then distilling them down to what is essential. That's what children see.
