Current Project:

Connecting generations of family garden book!
This book is second in a series published by Maple Deer Entertainment.

For this book, I continued in the style of ‘the Tale of Strong Roots‘ while incorporating all I’ve learned the past year about
color and paint- including
letting my brush marks show!

Connecting Kids

“I would like to make a film to tell children ‘it's good to be alive’.”
- Hayao Miyazaki
