My childhood and teen years were spent in several countries such as Japan and Holland, but mainly in France and the United States where I was born. Winnie the Pooh, Alice and Mother Goose followed me throughout our many moves and kept me company.
Some of my best years were when attending an international school with other 'kids like me'. Nonetheless, I did find myself developing a vivid inner world to counterbalance the whirl of my life. It provided me with a scenery in which I could feel safe, enroot and grow.
I'm now happily married to a French man and live on one of the windy hills of Paris. The sky here turns to a beautiful deep electric blue at sundown, something special to this area.
I've been writing and drawing since adolescence and now do poems for children. I hope you enjoy them.
