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.

My favourite moments are those spent with kindred spirits, sharing our hearts and experiences, learning and growing together, and making the painful parts of our humanity easier to bear.

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.
