Where I am
Dalton, Ohio, Ohio Amish Country
Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I live in a quiet little Amish community in rural Ohio. My husband and I owned and operated various farm based businesses over the years from boarding stables to organic market gardening and all sorts of things in between. It probably goes without saying the caring of the animals was my favorite aspect of farm and rural living.

Tell us a little about you, what is your background & where do you come from?
I was born on The Island, where I still live. I am a self taught artist and even from earliest age I can recall the desire to create.
