About

Patty Christiena Willis illustrates, acts, and writes songs, poetry and stories.      She also loves to knit, sew, embroider, and go on long walks with her long time companion and their dog Louie.  She is now working on illustrations for "Mrs. Castleriver," the second book in the "Earl Gray" series, an adventure in Paris of a designer  who creates a fashion show for mice.  She has found that using her gifts is the way that she finds hope and joy.   This is a photograph she asked strangers to take of her when she reached Finisterre after walking the Camino de Santiago at last in July of 2021. She walked again in 2022 and 2023, covering 1000 miles in France and Spain.
