The sound of music – while homeschooling two children and teaching piano to others – brought years of magic to Viktoria's life. When college time came for her sons, now strong young men, she watched them spread their wings and soar, seeking new adventures to discover their place in the world. 

Next Viktoria photographed thousands of flowers, exploring with vision’s mystery the songs of silence rising from gardens and wild ≠lands everywhere. After ten years of feasting on a profusion of forms and colors, a digital print and card business was born by its own energy and by popular demand: GreetingsWithHeart.com. 

She then went in search of an artist who could create rich drawings that danced in harmony with her collection of floral images, and alas! Rosa Maria Morató Roig appeared via the Internet on the opposite side of the planet, truly an albatross' flight away between Barcelona and California. Rosa Maria's art provided the spell-binding excitement of creating a children's book with deep, heart-expanding nourishment, like the classical fairytales of old. 

Viktoria and Rosa Maria's shared belief that all children deserve the rescue of love and the light of inspiration spurred their launch of Blue Albatross Press and its first publication: Francisco and Gabriel's Blue Moon Adventure. 

When she is not writing or photographing, Viktoria collaborates with her husband as Assistant Director on films and serves as the Executive Director of UNECO, an environmental and educational nonprofit organization. She regularly blogs at ImagesForRenewal.com.
