A book about the joy of living a creative life.
ORDER POETRY HOUNDS:
Poetry Hounds, my first children's book, is inspired by my beloved rescue dogs, Joni and Walter, who were both adopted as seniors through Coastal German Shepherd Rescue in Southern California. I adopted Joni in 2015 and Walter in 2019. While making the art for the book, both Joni and Walter were with me. They have since passed away, but this creation will always be a tribute to the love and joy I experienced because of them.
In Poetry Hounds, Joni and Walter are imagined as dog poets who spend their days writing poems, going to poetry readings, gardening, taking art classes, riding bikes, learning how to play the guitar, and much more. The book features unique handmade mixed media illustrations created with watercolors, pen, and assorted recycled papers.
