Mirka Hokkanen is a mom, full-time artist, author, and military wife who travels from one country to another. She juggles her time between illustrating, creating her upcoming book(s), and homeschooling.Apart from all of these artistic responsibilities, Mirka somehow still finds the energy to teach and plan for her exhibits halfway across the world.I had to interview her to find out how she does all that.
