About the author
Author: Mickey Mapstone:
Mickey is a retired art teacher of 27 years and a practicing artist. She received her Bachelor's degree in Art and her Master's Degree in Education. Mickey also restores murals in schools and churches. She has had several one-woman shows and has won many First Place Awards for her work in oils and watercolors.
Mickey has recently changed her subject matter and art medium. A professional oil and watercolor artist, she decided to master something new and found that with her love of birds (she calls Mickey's Budgies), mixing her Budgies with pastels, gives her a soft, blended, and cozy effect perfect for the subject matter. As Mickey describes them, "My cute little birds with attitude".
