Corduroy stood in his doorway with a strand of lights around the frame. The page with Puppy, Rabbit and Mouse was so cute.
I was surprised at his list, because it seemed really random and like it was for a human child instead of a bear. I liked that it listed Christmas activities, like putting up ornaments and lights, strings of popcorn and berries, and that his list of fun things to do went on and on. I was surprised he said Christmas was “one of the best” times of the year, and not the best. He looked different from one page to the next sometimes.
This kind of illustration didn’t have him be as cute as he could be. I am also very involved in fundraising for ALS.Ĭorduroy wasn’t as cute as I’ve seen him at times. When I am not drawing you will most likely find me on the water racing our sailboat or in the Mountains skiing. Click on my picture to the left to see what my sneaky boys caught on tape. My sons laugh at the way I act out all of the emotions by making the facial expressions of my characters while I draw. I love my work! It is so much fun to bring my characters to life, one brush stroke at a time. Now nearly 30 years later, I am still illustrating children’s books as well as greeting cards. Acclaimed Dutch author Loek Kessels saw my portfolio, and asked me to illustrate for her. I illustrated my first children’s book while in college.
The only difference is I look out at the Chesapeake Bay, not the ocean. I described myself as married with 2 children, working in my studio overlooking the ocean and designing greeting cards with a dog at my feet. While in high school I was given the assignment to write a paper describing a day in my life 25 years into the future. As early as I can remember, teachers were telling me that my drawings should be in children’s books. I was born in Brooklyn, NY and moved to Tappan, NY when I was 4.
