One of my first memories with storytelling was when I was in second grade. I told this wonderful story about visiting a castle on the way to school. Each of my classmates were so engrossed in the story and kept asking for more. When I became a mother coming up with amusing stories has become a near daily event. My children are part of the reason I decided to follow my dream of becoming a writer. I enjoy spending time with family and being outside in nature. I get a lot of my inspiration from watching my children play together. I also deal with bipolar depression, ADHD, social anxiety, and S.A.D. Therapy helped me learn to use art to express my emotions when I cannot find the words to do so. My treatment plan of keeping an art journal is what led to the production of my first book, Emotionally Abstract.
