About: Let’s see. So many opportunities to talk write about myself, I never know where to begin…and end. Almost 32-years-old, I am a petite five-foot-two-and-a-half-inches, lover of high heels and an occasional pair of comfy flip-flops.
I’m not a fan of the great outdoors or sports, except of course, on my way into shopping malls and centers, then I say, “Let the games begin!” I flunked tennis in college. I jammed my finger during volleyball and basketball during my formative school years. The thought still pains my fingers…Although my husband would beg to differ considering how much time I spend pecking away at this keyboard. I am proud of the fact that I am a self-taught swimmer. Everyone growing up in and around Florida or any coast for that matter should know how to swim. I was never given a lesson a day in my life, yet I swim like a fish. Just God’s will I guess.
I’m an early-to-bed-early-riser girl. I mainly get up early just to revel in being alone. This in part, due to being an introvert (only child) trapped in an extroverted (egotist) body.
I’ve been happily married for going on seven years to God’s gift to me. We have three cute kids–a girl, boy, and a girl (ages 7, 4, and 3). A former public school educator turned domestic homemaker, I am a liquid forced to do a “solid’s” job…I’m always moving, coming and going (clean home and all) and have yet to be the epitome of a STAY-HOME-mom. Up. Down. Up. Down. Up. Down. … Ah, the joys of being a “Proactiff” woman!

About: I’m an illustrator living in Austin, Texas. I specialize in children’s publishing.
How long have you been illustrating?
I’ve been drawing since childhood. I was always the art kid in school. I was good and even at a young age I knew that one day I would become a commercial artist, just like JJ on the tv show GOOD TIMES. In a final episode of the series, JJ became a commercial artist. So yes, I was actually influenced by “Kid Dynomite.” Family, friends, and school instructors told me that commercial art was not a door open to blacks. I was encouraged to go into computer sciences or to become an architect. Something with a future. I never accepted these admonishments because I believed that companies would be more concerned about the color of my canvas, not the color of my skin.
I wasn’t confident with my other skills and my drawing talents always came to my rescue when I failed in those other areas. For example, since becoming a picture book illustrator I have been asked many times to speak and make presentations. I have always been crippled with shyness, so speaking at first was practically out of the question. After making a few presentations I learned to let my artwork do the speaking by keeping my presentations very visual. Again, my drawing talents saved me….more
