Nicole
Seitz grew up on Hilton Head Island, a small town off the coast of South
Carolina, where she was surrounded by palmetto trees, marsh grass, sandy
beaches and unique Southern characters. As an author, artist and speaker,
Nicole's work is deeply influenced by her faith and the mystique and
charm of the Lowcountry. In 1989 she went to the U.S.S.R as a student
ambassador through People to People Organization, and the trip opened
her eyes to the struggles, beauty, and universal qualities of other
cultures--things she likes to explore in her work. Copyright © 2009 Nicole Seitz. All rights reserved.
