About the speakers: Liz Fox has lived on the Oregon coast for most of her life and has navigated a sea of careers since graduating with a Soil Science degree from OSU in 1980.  Retiring as a high school librarian in 2020, she’s been a full-time potter ever since, diving into the riptide she’s waded in for over 40 years.  Liz and her marine biologist husband, Dave, have 2 amazing children, 3 unruly dogs, and live on a former tideland between Newport and Toledo.  

Sandy Roumagoux is a celebrated artist and former Mayor of Newport, Oregon. Sandy's work is showcased in places like the Portland Art Museum and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. Recently, she shared her unique vision through exhibits like "Biomass, Invitational" and "Between the Tides." Sandy brings her passion for coastal landscapes to life with every brushstroke.
