Mad Izzy is on an important mission. Sharing my books and taking folks out on forays to learn about the forest are my way of spreading God's love to the entire planet.
I believe that Fungi, and especially mushrooms, are trying to save the planet. If we pay attention and listen to them, they will guide us.

Sweet Apple Farm is a place where we grow organic herbs and vegetables, as well as culinary and medicinal mushrooms. We also host workshops and forays, which utilize the arts. Making learning fun and unforgettable is an important part of our program. Join us soon for farm/foraged picnics under the stars, with dancing barefoot in the grass to live music.
Founded in 2025, Mad Izzy Publishing is a work in progress. While teaching Art Education for over thirty years, I never knew I was practicing and honing my skills as an artist to illustrate books. My Mama knew!
Meet Mad Izzy the Mushroom Mama is my first book. The next four are in the storyboard/design phase and will take you into the woods through each of the seasons.

Barnes and Nobel has accepted Mad Izzy into their online store. Hardbacks only,but they really are beautiful.

Who doesn’t need a mushroom friend? Well, I have one, and she goes by Mad Izzy. Izzy’s not angry, but madly in love with mushrooms. She’s a talented storyteller and a fine illustrator. Mushrooms are her passion, and she wants to take you into the forest and introduce you to them.
