| is a native Austrian who
immigrated, with her parents, to the United States in 1957. She now lives in San
Luis Obispo County, along the beautiful central coast of California, where she designs and
creates jewelry, paints colorful images in watercolor, takes photographs of the local
scenery and lets her imagination run wild in pen and ink. She has also tried her hand at
pottery and clay sculpture, a craft she finds almost therapeutic. Edie began her art
training in 1968 at the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver, Colorado where she majored in
commercial art. Edie worked in Houston and Denver before moving to California in 1983. Her
career has included working for magazines, design firms, and even a small software
company, but most of her experience has been in graphics and desktop publishing for the
printing industry. In 1991 Edie quit a job at a large printing company, to try her hand at
making a living with only her fine art work. She has had a number of solo shows, taught
watercolor workshops and has displayed her art in several local galleries. She has also
designed and manufactured costume jewelry, which was marketed in stores and galleries
across the United States. Some form of her art work is in private collections all over the
world. She currently creates designs and illustrations for a wide list of clients. Click
