TACOMA — Poulsbo artist and author Beverly Hooks will sign copies of her book, “Come Walk With Me  — A Poetic Journal,” April 28, 1-4 p.m., in Mark’s Hallmark Shop, at the Tacoma Mall, 4502 So. Steele, No. 640, Tacoma.

Hooks is a painter with a free flowing style that moves between realism and impressionism, with tones that are subtle yet vibrant with fresh color and inviting movement.

“I have been classified as a Romantic Impressionist,” she wrote on her website, www.beverlyhooks.com.

After authoring “Come Walk With Me — A Poetic Journal” (Tate Publishing), she began work designing and illustrating two new children’s books for publication.

Debbie Macomber, New York Times best-selling author, wrote of “Come Walk With Me”: “Come journal your thoughts and let Beverly Hooks’ original paintings and poetry inspire you. As a lifelong journal writer, I find Beverly Hooks’s journal both inviting and inspiring.”
