Luella was born in New York where she lived for four years. She now leaves upstate New York (a few miles from Woodstock), in a wonderful stone farm surrounded by nature. She has two younger brothers and lots of little animal friends. Her mom Ryan, founder of mor mor rita, teaches her how to cook, how to sew and how to make everything she touches become magically poetic and inspiring. Lucky Luella.
