Lena lives for her creative pursuits, an ever-growing list that includes singing, painting, climbing, surfing, playing with clay, and learning new musical instruments. Her favorite time of day is sunrise; on a good day, you can find her on a hilltop at dawn, drinking tea with a huge smile on her face.
