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.

Mama and bebé, by Hazel :: June 2017. So sweet! I love the earrings she gave me and the baby's patterned outfit. #hazeljuneeliza #sketchesbyhazeljune Summer lines + sketches :: As summer begins and craziness dissipates, the sketchbook and the clay are the anchors... #elizapaper #siaeliza Happy (late) birthday to my mother! Celebrated yesterday with cocktails, a birthday dinner with her six grandchildren and stories from her rich long life. My Mama is former dancer and hitchhiker, midwife, home educator, lover of water and travel, history and architecture... and she's a wildflower and art aficionado... to name just a few of her skills and experiences. This woman taught me everything I know about motherhood. Feeling especially connected to her this year as I gave birth to a daughter in the month of June, the same month my mama had me, and same month her mother had her(!) #latergram #mothehood #mothersanddaughters #life #birthdays Photo credit: mom! ...Missing this guy so much already. Father Luke arrived the day baby was born and stayed for ten days. My family has been going back home one by one after a joyful reunion and baptism of our new baby. I don't remember ever going out to a restaurant around a week postpartum but this occasion called for it! (They packed me a pillow and dropped me at the door. And I enjoyed being able to have a couple pints with dinner finally!) #family#postpartummama#motherhood
