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.

Day 9 of her life in the light. This was Day 3 amid this week where minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days... all is timeless. I wake up to flickering candlelight and baby squeaks and snuggles and magical long gazes. She acclimates to the world of light and I rest and eat and rest and eat.... all the while continuing to be her home, her source of nourishment and comfort. LOVE the first newborn weeks. And I'm so glad I'm not pregnant anymore!. #babies #motherhood #postpartum #postpartummama This is what happens when mama is recovering from birth, glued to an armchair all day, and little ones become orphans looking for pajamas each night while their Grandmama tries to work out older kids' arguments and running a kitchen she doesn't know.... gotta love those pink tights, right? And the imitation anklet. 😂😂😂 I just want to eat avocados and nurse a baby. Everyone will live. 🥑🍊😀#smirk #postpartum #motherhood This was us two days ago! After days and days of pre labor we did it... Ruby Anne was birthed into this world and has been swaddled in a cocoon of love ever since.... haven't had time to post; it's the newborn honeymoon stage. First hospital birth after five successful home births. #inlove #newbabies #babymoon
