What I’m Creating

Basil Winslow follows a shy little fox and the friends he meets, both human and woodland, as they navigate small adventures and everyday moments together. Through their cozy, heartfelt interactions, each story gently shares simple lessons about kindness, belonging, gratitude, and the quiet ways we care for one another.

Now available in my store, on Amazon, and at The Shop on Grant in Vandergrift, PA, and Artisan’s Joy in New Stanton, PA.

Basil helps his new friend Tommy as he faces his nervousness about riding a horse at Stoneybrook Foundation. With Basil by his side, Tommy discovers that being brave doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid. Sometimes, it simply means finding the courage to try.

Inspired by the work of Stoneybrook Foundation and its therapeutic riding programs, the story celebrates friendship, trust, and the remarkable connection between people and horses. The book is currently in development, alongside a series of original paintings bringing Basil and Tommy’s story to life.

The Seasons Paintings follow a woman and her fox companion through quiet moments in each time of year, capturing the sweetness of their friendship and the changing mood of the seasons. The series moves from spring’s discovery to summer’s peace and autumn’s wonder, with Winter Joy still to come. Each painting reflects the small details, emotions, and quiet magic that make its season feel distinct. Together, the series creates a gentle storybook journey through the year.

A collaborative mural created for the Stoneybrook Foundation Therapeutic Riding Center, celebrating the courage of the riders, the gentleness of the horses, and the community that brings therapeutic riding to life.

Adelaide is a middle‑grade novel about a girl who moves into an old house and befriends someone who seems perfectly ordinary at first...until she discovers her new companion lived, and died, in the late 1800s. As their friendship deepens, she learns that this ghostly girl remains for a reason, and uncovering that purpose becomes a journey of courage, connection, and healing across time.

Thomas is a novel in progress about a woman and the guardian angel who has quietly shared the ordinary moments of her life, even when she never knew he was there. Blending faith, humor, love, and everyday life, the story explores the unseen relationships that shape us and the possibility that we are never quite as alone as we think.
