About Sia

Sia was born in Berkeley, CA to a midwife and carpenter, both English majors. There her entire childhood was steeped in beauty, culture and ventures into the natural world, most frequently the Marin Headlands on the coast. Come age 13 she was transplanted to Eastern Ohio for the rest of her childhood where she fell in love with family culture and farming. When she was 16 she studied watercolor painting in Maine on Vinalhaven Island and around the same time discovered great satisfaction working with clay under a potter-friend who was homesteading in the foothills of Appalachia. After spending a year abroad in Scotland where she nannied four little boys during the week and did lots of walking on the weekends, she went on to study pottery back in the states by going the apprenticeship route. Throughout her young-mother years she's been able to work some kitchen table art sessions into her days and has always, in whatever form and shape possible, kept on writing, primarily about children and the natural world. She now has four sons and two daughters and makes her home in Vancouver, Washington in the Columbia River Valley.

Morningtime lovin'. Every. Single. Day. I wake up and mother and write and sip my tea and jot down notes and work on lists and daytime schedule, taking in very sweet passing moment with my second daughter, Ruby Anne. These days will fly by before I know it! #babylove #summer #rubyanneeliza Cool guy in the front seat- these boys make my heart sing! #shades #tenyearolds #summertime While kids were setting that table..... we found this old place card in the napkin basket. Miss you so much @sadiehoyt !!!!! 💗💛
