Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my new website! Allow me to give you a tour. Let’s start with….
BOOKS (of course!)
Click on any of my books and you will find yourself on a new page featuring illustrations from inside the book which you can scroll through by clicking on the arrows to the left or the right. Once you have enjoyed the pages from inside the book, you will find out where you can buy a copy and read what other people have said about the book! Many of the books have activity guides you can download and some even have recordings of the author’s reading the story with music by my talented husband, Matthew Smith. Enjoy!
Next, click on….
Read a little about who I am, what I like to do, how I spend my time. When you scroll down you will also find links to interviews and blogs that will tell you even more about my books and my writing and me. And if you still haven’t had enough and you want to see more pictures, (because you can never get enough pictures,) you can follow me on Instagram!
Next is where you are right now….
I will be updating this page with news about books, events, school visits, drawing and writing prompts, or simply just what’s up in the studio. NEWS will be an active page. Visit often!
For more pictures, (because we all love pictures)….
This is new. I have always painted, sketched, created theatre sets and sculptures, but have not featured them on my website in the past. Now I am bringing you more from my studio— past and present. Art created when not creating books. And like any gallery you walk into, the art is for sale. If you see something you like, contact me and I will be happy to let you know the details.
And speaking of art for sale….
Books and Art Prints!
The books you will find in the shop are two that have gone out of print— but as long as my supplies hold out, you can purchase signed copies here!
And the art prints, also known as “giclées” are from three of my books and come in different sizes to fit your home, office or classroom. They are sustainably printed. Read more in the shop!
And if you have questions or ideas or thoughts, please do not hesitate to….
Please write to me! I love hearing from you.
