visit me at THE ART LADY

I'm known as the art lady around my little strip of atlantic coastline ...
I've put the meet-the-masters program into the schools, created sets for children's theatre, taught art and painting and writing and illustrating and just about anything to do with kids and art.
I AM AN AUTHOR OF BOOKS FOR CHILDREN, AND I MENTOR KIDS WHO WISH TO WRITE A BOOK...
some of their books are printed in beautiful hardbound versions with their own original illustrations in 1's, 2's, and 3's as beautiful family treasures.
some of their books actually are published and available at all the major book sellers like amazon.com, barnes & nobles, booksamillion and many more
My books are used in school 1-on-1 and in small groups as part of behavior learning.
BULLYING, GIRLS CLIQUES, ANGER, MEANNESS are issues I deal with daily, and many of my books have accompanying puppets and game boards
THAT'S WHAT I DO.
MAYBE YOU WORK WITH KIDS TOO, OR WRITE FOR KIDS AND MAYBE WE CAN ALL LEARN FROM EACH OTHER.

My Interests


k - 5 creative writing and publishing
published books mentored by artladybooks

IMAGINE: 11 YR OLD GETS PUBLISHED
view the book
boy starts book at 10
finishes by 11
available at Amazon.com,
Barnes & Noble,
Books a Million and many other book sellers
what a joy it is to find a child driven like this



here's one way I've worked with kids:

helping students write and get published in real hard cover edition through
Student Treasures,
iUniverse,
and Weekly Reader Publishers
these publishers can deliver
beautifully illustrated
beautifully bound books cheaply

it's not so hard to get this going;
not really -
identify the potential minds,
form a writing group and then
WOW! see how it brings:

children's self-esteem
cherished by relatives
trophies for the school library !
available in major bookstores and on-line


school board award presentation

such pride and satisfaction
and hope for the rest of us

I'd like to meet:


i'd like to meet the skateboard guy my husband drew for a book of mine
and maybe young pablito picasso with his dove
drawn by one of my students

and of course i'd love to ride this horse my husband drew for me.

BUT MOSTLY,
I'D REALLY LIKE TO MEET FELLOW AUTHORS OF CHILDREN'S BOOKS
and EDUCATORS DOING CREATIVE TEACHING WITH ELEMENTARY KIDS!
