Meet the Author
With over twenty-five years of experience as a passionate artist, my journey into the realm of creativity has been shaped by a continual quest for knowledge and inspiration. Throughout my education, I delved into art, which has greatly influenced my writing and artistic endeavors. A pivotal aspect of my childhood was frequent visits to the local library. These trips were not just about borrowing books; they sparked my interest in history and legends that would later inspire my storytelling.
Inspiration from the Past
Among the various cultures I encountered, Japanese traditions, particularly woodblock printing, resonated deeply with me. The rich tapestry of Japanese culture, intertwined with its myths and historical narratives, sparked a desire to explore Japan. This fascination with history fueled my artistic expression and later informed my writing at Lapis Tree Books.
The Ethos of Lapis Tree Books
My diverse experiences living overseas and working in various educational contexts have shaped the ethos behind Lapis Tree Books. The goal is to craft stories that ignite curiosity among children. I strive to write narratives that do more than entertain; they encourage young minds to question and think critically. At Lapis Tree Books, we are committed to delivering engaging content that reflects these aspirations. Join me on this journey of creativity and discovery!
