The daughter of a military man, I grew up overseas with the culture of Europe getting deep in my soul. I became accustomed to being constantly surrounded by epic cities with their cobblestone streets and rich histories and we lived mostly in the countryside, with its wide stretches of green farmland for aspect. It was such an idyllic way to grow up and shaped my imagination in a profound way. 

After an adventurous career, I am now settled in the Denver suburbs with my husband and our two precious children as a stay at home mom. After dealing with deep postpartum depression and anxiety, I decided to reconnect with the things that had enriched me and brought me joy.
