My art studio is located in my home on a Lake in Northwestern Ohio in the summer and on the Gulf in Northwestern Florida in the winter.

My favorite places to photograph and then paint are Brown County State Park in Indiana; St. Andrews State Park in Panama City Beach, Florida; Wakulla Springs State Park in Wakulla County, Florida as well as on Grand Lake in Celina, Ohio and the Beach in Panama City Beach, Florida. The best of all worlds!

 

I am also a writer of children's stories. I hope to publish my picture books in the near future. I am working on one story titled, "How do you give a cow a bath?"  (I have follow-up stories on "How do you give a bee a bath?..a horse a bath?..an elephant a bath? and am working on several others.) See some excerpts of my stories at  www.beezartstudio.blogspot.com and www.jacketflap.com/LadyLitke .

Some of my other characters include, Inspector King Cole ,with nursery rhyme related crime stories in New York City; Penella P. Pickle and her first grade adventures; and Luva Lee and her friends Jeff Fine and Karen Dunn, 4th graders, who are involved in the Fine-Lee-Dunn mystery series that takes place in the small town of Mount Peely.
