Tiffany Lichlyter was born and raised in rural Southern Indiana, daughter to the town barber and librarian. Growing up in the Midwest has given her a keen eye for the beauty in the simplicity of the natural world. Today, she shares a small woodlot with her husband where they work to restore what has become rare wild land in suburban Chicago. She documents their life through poetry, short essay, and watercolor. You can often find her tending their ever-expanding garden or peering through binoculars siting feathered friends.
