The illustrations are created by Martha Brouwer who for 25 years, was art director at Waterfront Press, a Seattle-based publishing company. She now paints full-time with showings at fine galleries throughout the Northwest. My own background, Maura Van Ness, is as a former journalist, single mom and now a happily working grandmother. I also live in the Pacific Northwest, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range where birds and fish and humankind relate everyday.
The illustrations are from Martha Brouwer, who was the art director for 25 years at Waterfront Press, a Seattle based publishing company . She now paints full time and has showings at fine galleries in the Pacific Northwest.view less
