about senk
|
The rolling lull of blue mountains intoxicates as readily as sea tickling shore in Virginia. SENK savors life embraced by mountains in a vale, where art such as photography, poetry, and pottery bring passion to each day. Explore these little delights, letting your heart harbor hope amidst the asperity that inadvertently exudes from life.
These pages proffer a pinpoint perspective on written and visual art created by Sarah Elizabeth Nichols Kohrs. SENK holds a BA cum laude with a double major in Archaeology and Classical Languages from The College of Wooster in Ohio and a Virginia state teaching licensure endorsed in Latin and Visual Arts for pre-K through 12th grade. In addition to being a writer and artist, Sarah homeschools her youngest son, serves on the board of Valley Educational Center for the Creative Arts (VECCA), volunteers for Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association (NSVMGA) and the Open Door Food Pantry, as well as promotes other community non-profit groups. For seven years, Sarah directed The Corhaven Graveyard (for which, she received the 2016 Preservation Virginia's George W. G. Stoner and Melville Jennings Research and Education Award), historically known as Sam Moore Slave Cemetery in Shenandoah County, Va. Along with her bagpiping, geology-loving husband, whom she met on the volcanic island of Santorini in the Aegean Sea, and her three sons, Sarah lives in a renovated farmhouse (with an array of solar panels, rain barrels, compost bins, and a raised bed garden) in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. |
