Although raised on coloring books and crayons outside of Boston, she now lives in the south of France.

She is constantly drawn to themes of the underdog (sometimes an actual dog), human and animal friendships, and adventurous imagination, which you can see in her illustrations in books including the Good Dog series by Cam Higgins, \u003ci\u003eBrand-New Bubbe\u003c\/i\u003e by Sarah Aronson, and \u003ci\u003eMake More S'mores\u003c\/i\u003e by Cathy Ballou Mealey.
