Artist, Risa Bardo, has been creating various forms of art since her early childhood. Risa was inspired at an early age by her Grandmother who was a pressed flower artist and instructor. Risa began her journey with jewelry design, but when she was gifted with two beautiful children, she took some time off to focus on her family. During her free time, she had an opportunity to collaborate with a local composer and wrote song lyrics. Since then she has been inspired by her children to continue writing. Risa has found children's books to be a form of fun creative expression.
