Hey, you! So nice of you to click to learn more about me, Kristina Henson.
I live in Upstate New York with my daughter, a Golden Retriever, and two cats. Before writing and illustrating my two books, One Hundred Birds Telling One Hundred Little Stories and Letters to Lily, I maintained a blog and regularly published personal essays while working in the graphic design industry by day and devoting the majority of the rest of my time doing what I love the most — writing and creating books. I love everything about books. With all that’s inside of them—the things I can learn, the places I can travel to, the characters I can fall in love with—what isn’t there to love?
I can define myself by being so many things: a mother, a daughter, a sister, an artist, an author, a designer. But most importantly—and what I remind myself of often—is that I am a woman who needs to create. 
I hope you enjoy a peek into my studio and life. 
Kristina

Ohhh, I sure do love January 1st. It's cold and quiet, and the blank pages of my new notebook are waiting for my daydreams.
New Year resolutions don't work out well for me, so instead, I am just daydreaming about what I would love the year ahead to look like. I spent all of New Year's Eve (day) in my studio working on this new painting, and it feels like these birds are daydreaming about the days ahead, too.
My daydreams for 2024 are sweet and simple:
✨ Art, art, and more art! Every single day. Keep working on my art.
✨ Enjoy all the cozy hours of winter in my lovely little house.
✨ Walk around the woods and park with the best, worst dog ever.
✨ Be extra loving to my healthy and strong body. (even the squishy bits)
✨ Never let a day go by without letting my people know how much I love them.

I hope you have quiet time today to close your eyes and let your thoughts drift from one thing to the next. Let the possibilities for the days ahead excite and warm your heart. xo

What the Duck - Day 100!
