1- What do you think we should know about you?
I enjoy old movies, classic rock and potatoes. I hate exercise and my right hand is my most important extremity. (And I love art.)
2- For the book ‘So good for little bunnies’, did you start from a text or an illustration that inspired you a story you wanted to tell?
When I started thinking about writing and illustrating So Good For Little Bunnies, I gathered up ALL the childrens books, illustrations, cards, magazines, art books and what not I could find that inspired me. I went through
them, making notes, little thumbnail sketches and building my story from there. In my mind, the illustrations were the beginning, and I wrote the story around them. I thought about what I’d like to say, and for me, in my gallery shows
I usually tell of what I’m experiencing at that particular point in time emotionally – it was the same for the book. I had gotten married and left home for the first time, I was missing my family and feeling disconnected, and so went the story of Be Be.
