In the Author's Own Words

Hello! I’ve been making picture books for about 6 years now. I live in Owen Sound with husband Simon, my kids Lily and Koen and our dog Griffin. It is not far from where I grew up. I was raised in a converted church in Big Bay. It is beautiful there. There are hiking trails, a wetland and the Niagara Escarpment.
