I continue to grow artistically, now using the computer as well as pencils and brushes as tools. I'm adding to my knowledge daily in the areas of graphic design, as well as at my art desk. Most importantly, I have returned to my dream ... writing and illustrating children's books. I have loved to read and to write since I was a child, and I bring my love of the written word to my personal and professional life.

And writing is what I have been doing! Illustrating, too! Since Spring 2007, I have been a part of a children's book writers' and illustrators' critique group, HCCWG, where I'm both a group member as well as a facilitator. I have been attending writing and illustrating conferences through my own New Jersey SCBWI chapter, and am a member of the national SCBWI. To keep the wheel well-oiled, I also established my own blog, appropriately named - Still A Dreamer. Growing in my craft, I am aglow with the wonders that lie within and before me.

I have been blessed on my path with several guides in my emotional, spiritual and creative life, and here I must thank Len, Bill, Alaya, Chuck, Georgia and Linda-Marie.  I couldn't have gotten here without you.
