I am a full-time painter after being a life time dancer. I began painting 7 years ago when I was asked by one of our children to paint a turtle for their child . The turtle became the first A to Z book and surprisingly launched my painting career which has been constantly inspired by our 7 grandchildren during the last 7 years. .The love for them and the joy of painting blossomed into painting many art books, portraits, astrology story paintings and birthday books, painted on several different materials .The painted A to Z letters evolved into many different versions including an interesting curriculum which I refer back to over and over again which encourages drawing/ painting pictures and of telling stories. The children's stories are amazing and so special . I never thought much about the alphabet but its full of so many endless possibilities yet to explore
