As a writer and illustrator, I hope to inspire the expressions of inner peace, confidence and creativity that are present within us all.

Who Am I? - Confronts inadequacy and low self-esteem. A tiny seed falls under the spell of a controlling shadow. As the seed's growth is hindered, his experience in the garden, surrounded
by blossoming seeds, brings forth feelings of fear, jealousy, shame, and anger. When inadequacy is questioned and transformed, the emancipated seed reclaims his innate ability to flourish. $8.95 + shipping
What's The Truth About Me? - Presents the complications of judging and being judged, which must be healed for inner peace. Two friends' relationship is jeopardized when one suspects the other of meanness. An accusation brings up unhealed memories and raises confusion
about "good" versus "bad" labels. The resourceful and potent resolution is that choice of behavior produces feelings that reveal the truth to both accused and accuser.

Fear Hooks on in Lots of Places - Illustrates the adhesive and pervasive nature of fear. The main character, as a result of an early playground accident, becomes enmeshed in fear's grip in order to stay protected from harm's
way. The paintings vividly portray how fear gathers around itself and expands until it's checked. Resolution and release come from awareness of how fear feels, opening to inner resources and finally, accepting confidence as an alternative.
