We would like to present you a person with whom I have been friends for many, many years, and Adek for 7. We've been here in Los Altos Hills, her and her husband's - John, guests again and again.
Terenia (because she changed her Polish name Teresa into easier for the Americans - Terenia) is absolutely an exceptional person. Apart from her spontaneous character and the vastness of her positive energy, she possesses the ability to the propitiation of friendship and kindness of many people.
We are convinced that this is, among other things, the reason why she has been successful in varying fields of her activities in the USA.
A quotation from her blog:
Ms. Offenbacker grew up in Poland, where she attended the Universities of Szczecin and Poznan; graduating with degrees in Art Education and Art History. She left Poland in the 1970's to study in Santa Cruz, putting on hold an early career as an art teacher. The trip to California was to be a short one, but instead turned into a permanent stay.
Over the last 30 years, Ms. Offenbacker has worked in Silicon Valley; first as a designer in the computer industry and later becoming a Vice President of Marketing and Sales for a professional staffing agency. During this time, she avidly collected art from around the world.
Today she lives in a Los Altos Hills and has decided to return to the world of art where her passion has always been. When not in her attic studio, she is out at the beach with her two dogs or planting freesias and gardenias alongside the marjoram and purple basil in her home garden.
She hopes you will enjoy her art work as much as she loves creating it.
Sausalito is a beautiful town situated on the oposite side of the Bay. It's famous for its high prices but first of all for a large number of art galeries.
In one of them Terenia exhibits her works.
Wikipedia:
'...developed rapidly as a shipbuilding center in World War II, the city's industrial character gave way in postwar years to a reputation as a wealthy and artistic enclave, a picturesque residential community (incorporating large numbers of houseboats), and a tourist destination.'
