Victoria Snider is a longtime nurse who began to experiment with painting and poetry in 2017. Growing up with a painter/poet father, a talented seamstress mother and a younger sister who excelled as a miniaturist and at technical drawing was a bit intimidating. Thus, a wonderful and ongoing career as a nurse ensued.

Sensing a growing need for a creative outlet, she began her mostly self-taught personal quest to discover and nurture her own artistic spark late in life. It has brought much fulfillment.

As author and illustrator of her first self published book, Koi Meets World, she has decided to share part of this journey with you.

“Where There’s Smoke, There’s Fire” is Elizabeth Shannon’s first children’s book, which was inspired by her two cats, Smoke and Fire. After growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, Elizabeth lived for 30 years in Los Angeles, CA where she was a video editor. Elizabeth returned to Alabama in 2013, when Smoke and Fire showed up at her front door and became a part of her family.

She now lives in Birmingham with her cat Fire, her beloved dog Brinkley, and the sweetest new addition to the family, three month old puppy Lida Rose. Her patient husband and coparent, Jack, loves all the pets as much as Elizabeth.
