      Hello World.

      As a wee child, I remember sitting for long stretches of time staring at Trina Schart Hyman's Saint George and the Dragon. I loved "reading" stories through pictures, especially since I was a very late reader. When I did learn to read well, I would still stare at the covers (often criticising how the illustration didn't match the book's descriptions of characters and events. Lol). Once, I had a dream to win the Caldecot by drawing on white boards.

      Now, I homestead and homeschool, but I still make time to draw and paint, and that dream of being published has never really left me. I'm excited to learn with and from you all.

                              @marsha-kay-ottum-owen You live in a fifth wheel! Too cool! I just recently moved into a vintage camper/tiny house. I'm using it as a home and an art studio
