Denise Adams has been a nature enthusiast since childhood. Her interest in drawing wildlife and painting landscapes is what drew her to leave New Brunswick for the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. These days her main occupation is in custom coastal home design and landscape consultations for the area of St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia. She blends her interest in nature, art, and photography in her writing and is the author of <i>Atlantic Coastal Gardening</i>, <i>The Little Book of Sea and Soul</i>, and <i>For the Love of Lobster</i>.
