Tiny Heroes of the Waves
About the Author

Sharon Brinkerhoff

I have always loved stories. When I was a child, I wouldn't ask for just one bedtime story, I would ask for three or five or however many my parents were willing to tell. On summer evenings, I would ask for so many stories my parents' voices would grow hoarse. Sometimes they would fall asleep, but I was always wide awake hoping for yet another enchanting tale. I eventually grew up (more or less) and graduated from the University of California, Irvine. Now I am the one telling the stories, although I must admit I still love to hear them!

As a young boy growing up in the 80's, I had a real addiction to cartoons, mainly on Saturday mornings and after-school. I had the same routine everyday-eyes glued to the screen with a pencil and paper in my hands. I tried to duplicate my favorite characters during commercials. Before I knew it, I had developed another addiction-drawing. I am now a Studio Art major at the University of California, Irvine where I am developing a love for many other mediums of creative expression such photography and digital design. With my creations, I hope to inspire people to realize that as human beings, we all possess the ability to creatively express ourselves in one way or another. It's the people who find their way, and accept it, that identify themselves as "artists."
