I’m so glad you’re here! My name is Krista, and I’m an artist, author, photographer and grower of deliciousness on my Australian farm. I’m also a volunteer for Ukraine and a grateful survivor-thriver who believes in the power of stories, nature, and creativity to heal the darkest experiences of our lives.

I hope that this place will be a comfy one for you, a place of support and understanding, where we can inspire and encourage each other as we all wobble along in this difficult yet wonderful life.
