March

  Here are some pictures from a project that I've been working on with LitWorld called the Faces of Litworld. These will be auctioned off for charity in May at their annual Gala. These paintings showcase 3 of LitWorld's most cherished ladies: Quinter, Sunshine, and Mercy.

Rodin Museum Garden

Winter in Paris has been bitter cold, but I did sneak out last month to do some outdoor sketching (I can still feel my frosty blue nosetip).

The Rodin Museum is home to dozens of his casts and bronzed sculptures. Not to mention a permanent gallery devoted to his preliminary drawings and paintings.

 Rodin is sort of a celebrity here. The French consider this museum a 'must see,' maybe even right below the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. And I agree- it sure is a sight to see.

World Read Aloud Day is TODAY!

    Happy World Read Aloud Day! In honor of this amazing day, I was asked to do an interview for the Children's Book Review. Read about my road to getting a book deal, and what is inspiring me most about Paris right now.
