Connie's Books

• Grew up in Yreka, California, skiing Mt. Shasta, showing quarter horses, and watching my veterinarian dad at work.

• Attended UOP (Stockton) for a year, then transferred to CSUS. Graduated in ’76 with a B.A in Journalism. A number of those credits were in “commercial art” classes, taught by a wonderful old illustrator/artist from Chicago, whose philosophical differences with the “Art” Department landed him with the Journalism Department instead.

• Attended Academy of Art College (San Francisco) 1978-80 majoring in illustration.

• Worked in the art department at KCRA-TV Channel 3, Sacramento for a year, creating on-air graphics and news sets.

• Have been freelancing ever since. Advertising clients include: Bell Atlantic, Blue Diamond Growers, CibaVision , E & Y Kenneth Leventhal, J.C. Penney, Kaiser Permanente, and Wells Fargo Bank. Editorial and publishing clients include:, Governing Magazine, Sunset Magazine, Weekly Reader, American Foreign Service Assn., Gibson Greetings, Harcourt Brace, Harcourt School Publishers, Holt Reinhart & Winston, Prima Publishing, Scott Foresman, Shen's Books, and Sylvan Dell Publishing.

• I illustrated my first children’s book, Domitila: A Cinderella Tale from the Mexican Tradition, in 1999. The Wishing Tree by Roseanne Thong, was released in October, 2004. Books three and four are Water Beds: Sleeping in the Ocean by Gail Karwoski, September 2005; Octavia and Her Purple Ink Cloud, by Donna German and Doreen Rathmell, May 2006; illustrations are scheduled for a fifth book to be released in 2007.

• I shared studio/office space with several graphic designers in Sacramento for six years but have worked at home in Rocklin, CA since 1986. I am married and have one 14-year-old son.
