The artist has been sketching, coloring, drawing in sketchbooks since age five. After completing 14 coloring books over the last two years, she was looking for another topic to draw lovely images for her next effort. After visiting her son-in-law (a Wounded Warrior, Hon. Ret., Marine) in California, she became fascinated with his hobby of aquariums where he was raising coral, tropical fish, and other amazing ocean life in microcosmic environments. After seeing the beautiful sea-life in his living room, the artist started looking for images to draw for a coloring book. Hence, the 50+ images coloring book - just for BIG KIDS at heart. These designs were created from the artist's hand-drawn original inspired sketches resulting in graphically complimentary black and white spaces with loads of potential for adding color.

Whether the co-artist uses crayon, marker, or colored pencil, or paints - or a combination - the beautiful results can be used to pass the time, keep your mind still, go into your own personal Zen moment, use your hands in a creative way, or to use for a craft or art project.
