I studied architecture in Germany. When I was 5 years old, my family sailed the Pacific Ocean from Australia, stopping in Tahiti, crossing the Panama Canal and arriving in Venezuela. The memories of that trip continue to captivate my imagination. As a child, I discovered my imagination could take me anywhere. I began creating stories in my mind but never wrote them down. I always wanted to be an illustrator instead. Thomas Templeton and the Year of the Vivificus is my first book. With this series I hope to inspire children to learn about the wonders of the natural world and to explore the outdoors. I live in Florida with my family and my two cats, Thomas and Fernando.показать меньше
