ABOUT SHANDA
Shanda (rhymes with panda) comes from a whole family of different kinds of artists and entrepreneurs!
She studied art in Atlanta and New York City. But before writing and illustrating kids books, she taught art to high-schoolers. Shanda is the mama of two young girls and the wife of a cute web developer.
DOLL-E 1.0 is her very first book about robots or anything for that matter!
DOLL-E 1.0 is now available where books are sold! Shanda is currently working on a companion book called T-BONE THE DRONE slated for Fall 2019 (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers).
Come early and stay late and enjoy all that Bent Tree has to offer and allow the natural beauty of and physical activity to release your creativity. While on retreat, immerse yourself in your craft but don't miss the opportunity to hike mountain streams, fish, hit the golf course, go horseback riding, climb to the top of Sharp Top Mountain and enjoy the view, paddle around the lake in a kayak, sit quietly by a gurgling waterfall, slip into a hot tub, forget about everything and let your stress melt away or take a cue from Chris and stack some rocks... whatever stirs your heart and releases those creative juices.
