Illustrating children’s books has always been a dream of hers. Her early art training at the Boston Museum of Fine Art and Mass College of Art, offered her a world of artistic opportunity. Fern’s career path took her in different directions, but she always planned to return to the arts someday. As her first foray in illustration, Fern adapted her Dad’s original story, Antiline’s Brave Adventure, into a rhyming format for her own grandchildren. In the second book Antiline’s True Discovery, written and illustrated by Fern and Sue, they have kept the integrity and personality of the main character as she moves forward on her journey of self-discovery and awareness of the world around her.
