Working in oil, watercolors, pen and ink, and collage, I create layered pieces from various materials on paper and digitally.
With a B.A. in Multicultural Education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst I taught for 15 years in a Kindergarten classroom. In addition to consulting with teachers on incorporating art into their classrooms, I offer workshops and classes to children, adults and other artists.
I live in Western Massachusetts in a house my husband and I built and raised our children in.

Spring is here.
Daniel is an inquisitive tyke, and when Grandpa asks him what’s new, the investigation is on. Daniel searches all over a lush park nestled at the center of the city. Stunning illustrations rendered in acrylic ink and patterned paper collage depict a bright and richly textured world as the child climbs his favorite rock beneath the warm sun and hears the whistling of redwing blackbirds flying by. The cattails tell him that winter has come to an end, Mother Duck says that her babies are hatching, and Polliwog is growing legs. Snake, Squirrel, and Butterfly also add to the chorus of voices offering Daniel lively updates on what’s changing in the world around him. By the end, he’s more than prepared to answer Grandpa’s original question with details of the flora and fauna; he also tells Grandpa how his own recently discovered whistling ability, new tooth, and growing legs fit into the bigger picture of the natural world. “Now it’s your turn, Grandpa,” Daniel says, shifting focus as the book ends with a dynamic backdrop of park goers—human and animal—on a path beneath a tree canopy. Featuring appealing, child-centered text and lush visuals, this tale will surely lead readers to more adventurous investigations of their own. Grandpa and Daniel present Black.
A beautiful invitation to spring for the curious nature lover. (Picture book. 4-8)

In this standalone sequel to Daniel's Good Day, Daniel goes to meet his grandpa in the park. Grandpa's greeting - "What's new?" sends Daniel off to investigate and observe. He converses with a big rock, redwing blackbirds, polliwogs in the pond, cattails, ducks, a snake, squirrel, and butterfly. Daniel returns with many updates to share, both about the natural world and about himself (like the polliwogs, his legs are growing too!). Archer's marvelously detailed collage artwork makes each page a place to stop, rest, and reflect.… (plus d'informations)
Daniel Finds a Poem is great for early elementary students. In this story, Daniel is trying to find out what poetry is. He asks all of his friends and they tell him what poetry is to them. This is a great picture book to introduce what poetry is to young students. It will expand their understanding beyond a rhyming poem. The collage illustrations help enhance the story.
