I was born in Mobile, Alabama, and contrary to popular belief did not grow up in a mobile home. I was raised in Atlanta, Georgia, then returned to Alabama for my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Auburn University. Later, something took hold of my soul and convinced me to go to Ireland to pursue my Masters1 Degree at the National College of Art and Design. I was struck by the simple differences in life here in Dublin and the life I'd had at home. Not being brave enough to drive in the manic Dublin traffic, I bike everywhere.
Inspiration comes from everywhere.
Occasionally a friend or family member will turn up as a character in one of my books.
