The Gift

About the Book

About the Author

Born and schooled in Linz-Austria, my father was a French Foreign Legionare (Charles Hainzl). After his death, I inherited a French villa, a house built in 1600 of stone and slate, which I converted into an art gallery and school. I taught “Gift of Nature Workshops” to young and old for over twenty summers. Writing poetry is my more recent expression, for storing thousands of poems is easier than housing my paintings that have decorated my other homes and also sold all over the world. I am multi-lingual and have studied fine art with Claire Romano at Pratt in New York City and Norman Rockwell among others. My love for poetry is a gift of God, for I cannot take credit for the easy and effortless flow of His prompting. As a missionary to Europe, I have wonderful testimonies of healing, and His divine goodness and faithfulness to mankind, especially to my family. My husband, now deceased, was a minister. We have four children and fifteen grandchildren. Our seed is blessed.
