Born in a little country on the east coast of the Black Sea, Anna spent the first three years of her life with her grandparents in sun-drenched Tbilisi (the capital of Georgia). Shortly before turning four, she boarded her first flight to Russia, leaving Georgia behind, only to mischievously return for summer holidays. For the next nine years, Anna lived in Moscow with her parents and two younger sisters, diligently doing her homework, proudly indulging in the praise of her Russian teachers, breaking her arm falling backwards on a skating rink, inventing never-ending games with her friends, and ...
Daniel Ha’s girlfriend knows what makes her boyfriend’s eyes light up. It happens rarely and it does not happen much but occurs every time he talks about comics.

After a few years in the Yukon, she travelled Canada for about a year, before slowly making her way back west.

Art affairs aren’t always expected but do grow out of seeds of opportunity. For me that opportunity would be found on the other side of the world when I was bitten by the travel bug and acted on impulse when the chance arrived to travel and live in the Netherlands at the age of 17.
