I received my Masters Degree from East Texas State University in 1972, then taught Printmaking and Drawing at Central Washington State College in Ellensburg, Washington from 1972-73. From there I came to Tulsa to be an Assistant Professor of Art at the University of Tulsa, in Printmaking and Drawing, from 1973-78. I am presently President of K. Radzinski & Company an Oklahoma Corporation (Dun & Bradstreet # 93-267-8238), which manufactures gift items, and produces commercial and fine art. I am a memeber of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

I have produced posters, note cards, greeting cards and Christmas cards for Portal, Renaissance, DaySpring, Down East Concepts and Seabright Press. Along with booklets and cat food boxes for Ralston Purina. Also, for nine years I illustrated the artwork for Storybook Heirlooms a catalog of children’s clothing. I have also illustrated the Tulsa Mayfest poster in 1994, the Tulsa Parade of Lights poster in 1997, the Tulsa Octoberfest poster in 2001, and The Oklahoma Library Summer Reading Poster in 2007.

In 1989 I illustrated my first children’s book titled "Lullaby", and then in 1992 the children’s book titled "The Twelve Cats of Christmas". "The Twelve Cats of Christmas" is also published in Canada, England, Austria and Japan, and the cats illustrated in the book are mostly my friend’s cats. In 2005 I completed my third book "S is for Sooner"  for Sleeping Bear Publishers, in August of 2005 my forth book "I is for Idea" was released by Sleeping Bear Press.

In 2007 "What Cats Want for Christmas" was releaded just before Christmas, in 2008 "What Dogs Want for Christmas" was released for Christmas, both published by Sleeping Bear Press. My latest book "Where to Sleep" will be released in April 2009. I have two dogs, one Scotty named Kirby and a mutt named Beanie.
