I live near the forest of Dabo with my two kids, 9 and 5 years old. I'm a visual artist; mostly sculpture and painting, but i do also drawing, woodcarving, installations in the woods and many other forms. I just published my first novel. My recent passion : fungi ! I discovered the world of medicinal mushrooms from the local forest. I do workshops at home, sculpture, creatures, painting and more ! You can find my work here : www.alexandra-gerber.com I started travelling in US and Canada in September 2007 Then i lived for two years between there and France. I spent time in Alaska where i learned woodcarving with Tlingit indians. my website: (http://artaffectif.com) PHILOSOPHY Know yourself! Want the best for you! Meeting new people in unknown places is a way to learn about yourself. Develop and clean your "antennas" to attract luck. If you're listening, and following the flow, you will be in the right place in the right moment. Then, everything happenning is perfect and challenging. I need to constantly transform things and being transformed.
