I was a graphic artist before I became a writer. I would never have believed that they could be so closely interlinked or that I would ever enjoy writing the way I do now. But the route from the beginning to my current place in the writer's world was clearcut and seemed to be such a natural path.

My enthusiasm for showing emotion through images began to feel just as powerful when it came to expressing that emotion through the use of words. The more I educated myself in the correct usage of words, the more I enjoyed the process of writing and the creation of art through it.

These days my writing involves fiction, non-fiction and online writing in the marketing world. In all cases, I see writing as the gateway from thoughts to expression.

When I first started writing children's fiction I created picture book stories so that I could still enjoy my visual art experience but eventually, I had to accept that it slowed down my process of being able to deliver more quality work to my audience.

Now my focus is on producing an ongoing flow of longer written pieces. It seems to be once again, the most natural progression.
