One Thesis: Finished

Yes! I turned it in yesterday. Felt so good.

"Beyond Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keefe"

What's that, you say? Beyond Frida & Georgia? But they are great artists.

Yes, they are, but there are so many other great women artists that I bet you have never even heard of, let alone seen a book or two about. Especially books for kids.

 I took a class a while back called Women in Art.

I was surprised to learn about many women artists I'd never heard of before. I got excited, asked too many questions in class, til the professor told me to stop (she did, really). 

Oh, I guess I can find out on my own. So I did.

And I wrote five picture books, each about a different woman artist.

 Rosa Bonheur, Maria Martinez, Sonia Delaunay, Elizabeth Catlett, Ruth Asawa

Look for them in print some day.

Who would you like to see a book about?

Happy Thanksgiving!

 Happy Thanksgiving, dear followers! 

I am so thankful for all of you.

I hope you have a lovely holiday with good food and great friends.

And ... a reminder that my artwork is still up
