About Beryl

I am an artist and story teller, living on the Central California Coast in San Luis Obispo. During the last nine years, I have written and illustrated a number of children books.

Before I came to San Luis Obispo, I taught school and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Traveling extensively throughout the world including countries in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia, I have taken many photographs that I use in my art work and books. These travels have given me a broader understanding of the world and other cultures and have been an inspiration for many of my children’s stories. Other story ideas come from my contact with children, who are a never ending source of delight.
