Born and raised in southern Ohio, Winifred graduated from Greenhills High School, attended Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, University of Cincinnati and Art Academy at the Cincinnati Art Museum. A freelance artist, mother of two sons and grandmother of five, she now resides in Fairfield, Ohio, where she is working on her next book and continuing her artwork.

"Often during my life I have attempted to write stories for young children which I could illustrate. Not pleased with my attempts, I would return to my artwork. While searching for a gift for my pre-teen grandson who has Asperger's Syndrome and ADHD and who enjoyed reading dragon fantasies,
I found myself writing this fantasy adventure as if I were taking dictation. I was able to produce a single paperback book as my gift. The enthusiasm my grandson exhibited upon reading the story and the rave reviews from adult family members and friends has encouraged me to share The Mystery of the Green Stone with others.
