Meet the Author
With over twenty-five years of artistic experience, I have immersed myself in the world of art throughout my education and beyond. My journey began as a child, fueled by countless visits to the local library, which sparked my fascination with history and creativity. These early explorations laid the foundation for a rich tapestry of inspiration drawn from various myths and traditional cultures, particularly Japanese woodblock printing.
Inspiration from Japan
My passion for all things Japanese grew as I delved deeper into its history and artistic heritage. This fascination spurred my desire to travel to Japan, a journey that enhanced my understanding of its culture and traditions. Over the years, I traveled the globe and lived in various countries after completing my university studies. These diverse experiences provided me with unique perspectives that continually inform my work as an artist and writer.
The Ethos of Lapis Tree Books
Lapis Tree Books was born from my experiences and overarching desire to craft stories that not only entertain but also provoke thought and curiosity. Through my storytelling, I aim to encourage children to think critically and ask questions about the world around them. My background in art and history plays a significant role in shaping the narratives I create, marrying creativity with an educational twist.
Join me on this enlightening journey as we explore the world through stories that inspire the next generation.
