Short Description:
Growing up in rural Missouri, Veronica has been a so-called "tom-boy" since she was little. She treasured helping her Grandpa, (Grandpa “ship”—as he was affectionately known) harness, work and care for a team of draft horses as well as attending historic farming and threshing events. She attributes her interest in farming and driving horses to those fond memories of him. She also enjoyed putting up hay, raising animals, horseback riding, hunting with her dad, fishing and boating on the river with family, and simply being outdoors; all of these things are things that she continues to enjoy to this day. “You can learn a lot of important life-lessons around the farm that apply to creating art as well, one of them being; always get back on the horse if you get thrown. In other words, don't give up when life throws a curve at you.”
