In the Hills Editorial/Bethany Lee's Column

I am lucky to be asked to illustrate for Bethany's column in IN THE HILLS magazine. She writes about  her time living in the hills and bringing up her son. What a wonderful gift for her son as he grows up. I have fun identifying with Bethany. I have a son a little older…and I often relive some of the moments. Some of her work is about reflecting back on her childhood as well. 

Always a pleasure.
