| Introduction | A fine arts graduate, I followed a career in Art Therapy while studying the writing and illustrating of children's books. I then went on to a Masters in Psychology and 8 more years to become a Psychoanalyst, growing further away from my art. But my volunteering my artwork to the largest animal sheltering system in NJ resulted in a position being created for me as Fund Raising Manager which evolved into my being their Graphic Artist and writing all their published pieces. As I returned to my artwork and writing, I went freelance with Graphic Design and once again came full circle to the writing and illustration of children's books. A long circuitous route but where I've learned plenty and for which I am always grateful. You can also visit my blog at http://stilladreamer.wordpress.com/ |
