“Meet the Hotdogs”

I have been passionate about art since my childhood! I
graduated from Rockford University with a Bachelors in Art
History, a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Studio, and Masters of Arts
in Teaching. I am currently an art teacher in northern Illinois
and am so excited to be in the process of publishing my first
c
hildren's picture book!

About Me

My Journey

I have wanted to write and illustrate a children's picture book for over 20
years-so I'm making my dream come true! I recently completed several
writing and publishing classes and joined multiple writing groups.

I found that reading children's books has provided the greatest inspiration
and most of all, to never give up pursuing your dreams.
