Hi, I am Mia Artz.

I'm a wildly passionate person who grew up in the woods on the side of a mountain with four sisters. I talk to fast or I don't talk at all. I only read books when I sit down and read the whole thing in one sitting, devouring every word. I love to garden until the August heat sets in and I let it all die. I studied sculpture at Virginia Commonwealth University, taught myself photography and then became a teacher for the blind/visually impaired who spends her school year making tactile diagrams and creating braille. Life is full of change, of contradictions, of moments. I embrace what we have been given and just roll with it.
