Esther Strickler was born in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and spent many happy hours of her childhood in the woods of North Mountain.  One of the more formative parts of her homeschool experience was the social study units learning about cultures and peoples from all over the world.  She moved with her family to Lancaster, Pennsylvania where she finished high school.  She taught one year at Sonlight River Brethren School before teaching English as a second language in Taiwan for a year.  She taught for eight years at Sporting Hill Christian School, after which she took a sabbatical year as a student at Faith Builders. 

Esther enjoys creating and sharing beauty.  She is happiest when she is spending time with people, creating an art piece, or sitting in the woods next to water.  She is deeply grateful for the investment of others in her life, and in turn seeks to spread the love of Jesus to others.
