Welcome to Oma's World.

Welcome to Oma's world: a hermitage set on a pristine lake, nestled in mountains, surrounded by trees and inhabited by Oma, Kenya (her own dog) and the dogs she looks after.

In Oma's world there is time to see, really see, the natural landscape as it changes. When she is not outside with the dogs, Oma reads, writes and watches films. She has also returned to a lost hobby (knitting), begun to enjoy two new ones (felting and pottery making) and just recently she began painting with acrylics.

Since moving to the hermitage she has discovered the secret to raising healthy house plants. They have to love their environment. We all do if we are to lead happy productive lives.

About Me

Oma
... a woman who has been many women and will likely continue to metamorphasize until the end ... I have been a mother, a grandmother, a writer, a teacher, a traveler, a nomad, and a hermit so far ... and now it seems I am evolving into a folk artist wannabe. Who knows where my travels will lead?
