I’m an author and illustrator of books and stories for children.

I’ve illustrated six Choctaw related picture books. Chukfi Rabbit’s Big, Bad Bellyache told by Greg Rodgers- published by Cinco Puntos Press; The Turkey Who Liked to Show Off; Why the Turtle Has Cracks on His Back; The Story of Tanchi; Why the ‘Possum Has No Hair on His Tail; Why Rabbit Has a Short Tail, all published by the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma in English and Choctaw. Also, I illustrated Imagine the Moon – A Primer of Full Moon Names by Gerald Fierst.
