Thanks for joining my page!

I am in the process of illustrating and animating a series of children’s books about Rafael, an unusual and rare bird that was orphaned when his mother and sister were captured by poachers. Dr. Charlie Meyers, PhD, has graciously agreed to join me in this project as the writer.

Readers can follow his adventures as he grows up in the Everglades and sets off on a journey to find his family. The first two books, As Free As A Bird & Rafael Sets Sail are currently on Amazon, and the third is in process. A 15 minute episode has been recorded and edited for sound and is currently in the animation process.
