hello,
the name is ansley usery.
(Last name pronounced “Ursery,”
like “Nursery” without the “n.”)
With a deep love for words, a propensity towards silliness, & the weight of the world on her shoulders, Ansley lives for the arts (both as a supporter & a doer,) nature, philosophy, good humor, inner peace, & activating/elevating the talents of those around her.
PS- long list of folks to thank.
Wouldn’t be here without them.
Enjoy your perusal.
