Artist, photographer, creative, graphic designer, former scrapbooking designer, wire jewelry artist, and French literature professor who grew up in Switzerland and flew to the States to study English, I have been thriving on the Oregon Coast since I moved here a while ago with my husband to raise my autistic son in the most freely natural atmosphere you can get without moving to someplace hot or icy. I love the peace to be found in our temperate rain forests and along the deep blue Pacific, and revel in the kindness and awareness of our little village.
