Many of my paintings beg for stories to accompany them, and some paintings - I call them narratives - are starting points for stories.
In the 1980's and 1990's I illustrated several picture books for children.
I wrote and illustrated The Girl Who Changed her Fate, published by Atheneum in 1992.
I made illustrations for the following books:
• Fire and Stone, written by Ursula K. Le Guin, published by Atheneum in 1989.
• Wizard of Wind and Rock, written by Pamela Service, published by Atheneum in 1990.
• Lissa and the Moon's Sheep, written by Eli Goldblatt, published by Harbinger House in 1990.
