Amy's stories and illustrations are inspired by the whimsy and recklessness of childhood wonder, and childhood lessons that become timeless as we age. |
InstructionWhen I wrote my first story for children, I was tutoring economically disadvantaged students in Language Arts. I wanted to create stories that were visually appealing with inspirational messages that would speak to children of inclusion, hope, tolerance, an understanding of those differences, and strength in the face of struggle. That journey threw me against a hurricane of adventure into finding my passion: something that would combine my love of learning theories with my love of art. Instructional Design is my obsession.
