What I'm up to in JUNE 2025:
FINALLY! My 32-page children's book "Seeing Things in Joshua Tree" is in print! Send me a message if you want to purchase one. You can also find it at Coyote Corner Gift Shop in Joshua Tree (and on Amazon).
This story follows a family hiking the Split Rock Loop trail in Joshua Tree National Park. The little girl sees animals in the rock formations along the way, and you can try to guess what she imagines each one to be. It can be used as a hiking companion, or an anytime story. (Unfortunately you have to hike the loop "backwards" from the park signage for it to work - bad planning on my part!)
This book started as simply a series of a few watercolor paintings playing with the rock shapes, back around 2017. The story evolved later. It's been a very long journey to get it into print!
Things I'm exploring:
- Piano Poems
- Drying garden herbs and cooking with them (never thought there's be much difference from store-bought - but there is!)
