About Loris
My father was born in Poland and worked as a toolmaker. My mum was born in Finland and worked as a nurse. She loved to read and garden and baked wonderful Finnish coffeebread. My sister Lena is now an artist living in Vancouver, BC. I loved and still love talking, drawing, books, friends, cats and vanilla ice-cream. Loris Photo
