I love to tell stories with drawings and paintings. As long as I can remember, I was always sketching and coloring scenes or adventures. It was my gateway to another world. Picturebooks were so very magical to me. As I read, I could see the stories with lush detail. As a result, they would all become more meaningful to me and would actually become a part of me. It's always a joy to see those magical words on the page accompanied by a glimpse into that fantastic world.
