I’ve always loved stories, and pictures, and the act of reading itself.

I was very impatient with my parents  when I was a little girl because they seemed to believe that they had other things to do besides read to me…so I demanded to learn how to do it myself. My mother was a first grade teacher at the time and didnt want to me to be too far ahead once I got to Kindergarten, so she stalled bit, but I learned anyway. And so, the marvels of “One Fish, Two Fish” and “Go Dog, Go” were MINE anytime I wanted them!!

I still love children’s books. Illustration and writing have always been joys to me right alongside of reading. My sister and I both created our own little books and projects when we were small, and still write now that we are as tall as we are ever likely to get.

I write a column on the business of art for “Belle Armoire“( a Stampington magazine) and freelance articles for other magazines.  I have (so far) published 3 books on working with polymer clay.

The first two, “Create A Polymer Clay Impression” and “Celebrations With Polymer Clay” were released through Krause Publications. The most recent is “Adapting Quilt Patterns To Polymer Clay” co-authored with Judith Skinner and self-published through Lulu.com

Our little publishing empire is starting with one book–but more are on the way.  Polymarket Press is the name of it, and we feature books, paperdolls, calendars and more.

There are several more books underway right now. The next one up for release is “The Art Of Polymer Clay Masks”, and I plan on its debut in October of this year.

More about that soon…
