My Story

I am a writer, illustrator, photographer, videographer and mom based in Ontario, Canada. I'm inspired by the antics of all the fun kids in my life, and the amazing creatures who populate my pond and the forest behind my house. A goose is featured in my debut picture book, “Let’s Go, Goose-Goose!” You'll find butterflies and moths, frogs and birds, wolves and insects in "When Sun Met Moon" an ode to the once-in-a-lifetime event of a total solar eclipse. I'm never without a camera in my hand and a story in my imagination!
