I started writing and illustrating after I finished my MFA in Printmaking. I had supported myself through graduate school by teaching Hebrew.  Inspired by Ashanti to Zulu,  I wanted to do a Hebrew Alphabet picture.  Eventually I did. Here is alef from an early dummy.

I write and illustrate stories for children and adults. My stories are about family, friendship, knitting, and community. They chronicle the large and small victories and defeats of everyday life.
