Hi!

I live in the mountain town of Hailey, Idaho, where my husband, Jason Vontver, and I reside with our three cats (Red Devil, Kiki and Simon) and our beautiful “Super Mutt” dog named Shep. We live in a creative household where something new is always being invented, be it art, music, new product ideas, or (mostly) delicious fly-by-the-pants food. Ironically, my husband is a professional drummer but I have no rhythm! Nevertheless, I play the clarinet in my local orchestra.

I love cuddling with my cats, walking my dog, reading great novels, graphic novels and children’s books (you should see the stack of books on my nightstand!), and enjoy a myriad of outdoor sports, like hiking, mountian biking and most of all, skiing powder!

I have three kids but they are all grown up now! My son, Beck, the original inspiration for my Baby character, lives in Brooklyn, NY, where he plays jazz piano and creates art of all kinds. My daughter, Tia, is currently traveling the world before she goes to Grad school for Environmental Policy. My daughter, Tatum is a Sophomore at the University of Washington (where I went to college) and is studying art. I love watching their adventures from afar but it’s the best when they come home to visit!
