Over het boek
What began as an effort to express frustrations about current affairs, the sad state of democracy and thoughts about static, apathetic lives helped me rediscover my passion for adventure, human behavior, photography, poetry and prose.
Over the course of almost four years, I documented my experiences in Astoria, memories as I processed leaving my lifelong home, notes about people I met or read about, music I listened to, observations on relationships I witnessed, and ideas about the place in which I was learning to live. These words wound a way into the collection that you hold in your hands.
The opportunity to weave my way through this written expression salved my soul, released demons, and uncovered connections to more beautiful humans and stories than I realized surrounded me. Words revealed who I was, who I left behind, and who I will become.
“How do I know what I think until I see what I say?” ~ EM Forster

Over de maker
Besides being an artist, Emily is a graphic designer, creative director, published author and poet, and an entrepreneur. With a passion for initiating, healing, coaching, connecting, and curating new ideas, she is a visionary symbolist who seeks to inspire others with art. Her latest creation, "A Tale of Whimsy," is a delightful collection of short fairytales that dances alongside "The Tomten’s Gift," a handbook for grown-ups on the wonders of herbs and blooms in a coastal garden. Her first book of poetry, "A Year in Astoria," outlines her experiences on the Oregon Coast. Emily's heart belongs to the Oregon Coast, a place filled with sweet memories of candy kitchens, driftwood hideouts, and splashing around with furry pals in the estuary. Watching her kids uncover enchantment in the same spots where she found magic, fairies, and endless adventures warms her soul. She's a firm believer in hard work, good ol' values, and the force of artistic communities in transforming lives.
