Allie Bobbitt upbringing was anything but ordinary. Raised on the road in a converted school bus, her family journeyed through Georgia and adopted a nomadic lifestyle across multiple southern states. Her parents, both artists, homeschooled her; her father taught her math, while her mother covered various subjects. Allie was particularly fascinated by her father’s unique talent of painting carpets on boardwalks, which was a source of income for their family.
