About the Art

In 2021, I illustrated The Wild and Sacred Feminine Deck: A 52-Card Oracle with Shambhala Publications (October 18, 2022) and am presently illustrating my picture book, Like You, Like Me, with Christy Ottaviano Books/Little, Brown. My previous children’s picture books include Papa Brings Me the World; Luna and Me: The True Story of a Girl Who Lived in a Tree to Save a Forest; Same, Same but Different, recipient of the 2013 Ezra Jack Keats Award; and My Travelin’ Eye (all published by Christy Ottaviano Books/Henry Holt).

I live and paint on our family homestead while tending our gardens and animals, and playing in beauty.

Bio

I am a mixed-media artist and mother, and an author and illustrator, inspired by plants and animals, the present moment, my children, and Spirit.

Other Local Artists

Handbuilt pottery, taught by the best in NM, and inspired by her wild and dramatic environs.
Through dream work I have learned to delve into the realm of the unconscious and freely and unselfconsciously play with the images and words from my dreams
Portraying these wild beings in a vivid non-local palette, with tenderness, allows the viewer to approach their soulfulness with greater ease.
