ABOUT BRENDA
Brenda writes quirky characters, fun and engaging picture books and early readers for preschoolers through third graders. A long time educator and dyslexia specialist, Brenda knows how children think and how to meet their literacy needs. When she earned her BA in Fine Arts at Brandeis University, Brenda’s focus was on sculpture. Brenda’s love of 3-D medium is evident in the texture of her work using homemade cut paper to create collage illustrations. She was inspired by children’s book artist Eric Carle when she created her own way of making paper using pastels and tissue paper with a glue wash. The end result is a wonderfully unique color and texture. No two handmade papers are exactly alike, leading to truly individualized artworks. As a member of SCBWI, she has attended many regional and national conferences through the years. Brenda’s mission is to create bold, joy filled, playful books for the child in all of us. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her dog, Rosie.
