My first book as author and illustrator, THE DANCER'S BOOK OF BALLET CRATFS

My book, "The Dancer's Book of Ballet Crafts, published by Creative Homeowner

My first book as an author/illustrator was  the award winning craft book The Dancer's Book of Ballet Crafts  published by Creative Homeowner.
I am in the process of posting some of the illustrations from the book. Most of my life has been connected to dance and I thoroughly enjoy illustrating the movements of dancers. Having danced all my life I makes it easier to understand what is going on in a dancer's body and helps me create the
feeling of easy movement.



This is an watercolor illustration of one of the beautiful young dancers who modeled for the book





Here I was inspired to capture the movement of the dancers at the barre.





A dancer's foot resting on the barre is a lovely challenge to capture

 

I love to capture movement and the energy in a dancer's body.
