Arabella Ark, who has never harmed a dog by the way, lives in the Hawai'ian Islands. She received a Master's degree in Directing from University of California at Berkeley and worked in theatre, film and news journalism. Love, always serendipitous, has often come through the backdoor of her heart, unexpectedly. Children, pets, family, lovers, the sea, the sunset, the islands, and art arrived to play. And there, she made them welcome.
