From: Colorado Now: New York's Hudson Valley
6 Word Memoir: Always looking over the next mountain.
Activities: I love to travel and draw outside, spending time in nature
Distraction: I find that the best way to deal with distractions is to not have my phone with me! Whenever I'm drawing, and I'm away from my phone or computer, I find that I am much more present.
