About the Artist
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 has been seen in private and corporate collections. I am represented by The Working Art Gallery in Belfast, Maine.
