ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Lucia has always been creative and imaginative, back to her early childhood, when she would create fantasy displays using items found around the house and in the back yard. Her family encouraged her creativity. As an adult, she was fortunate to own her own business, Confetti Display, Inc., which designed and provided major holiday decor programs to the shopping center industry across the United States. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of shoppers have viewed and enjoyed these fantasy exhibits. After retiring, the artist has spent her time painting realistic landscapes created in her mind. Her work has been exhibited widely in galleries on Long Island, N.Y. where she lives. The author is also fulfilling her lifelong desire to write children's storybooks with fantasy stories to spark the imagination of young readers, and to be enjoyed by the older folks who read them. Her lifetime has been spent exploring the possibilities of her imagination and bringing her visions from the drawing board into the world of reality. It has been both a privilege and an honor for her to have had this opportunity in her life time to pursue her passions. She hopes that every young person who has an aptitude and passion to do something has the support and encouragement from those who love them.

Yes, I really do use only a computer mouse to make all the illustrations for all my storybooks. It is not easy, but that is the style I wanted. It captures the whimsy and bold colors I wanted. This illustration is of Mr. Rooster, complainng to Johnathan he cannot crow in the morning becasue his pocket watch broke and he does not know when to crow. Lucia

Holiday spectacles to storybook magic!
