Award Winning Mobile Photographer – iPhoneArtGirl – Meri Walker – Fire Razes Home in Oregon, United States
It is with deep shock and sadness that I write this post today. This morning I learned that award winning Mobile Photographer and Artist and friend to many of us – Meri Walker (@iPhoneArtGirl), has lost her home and entire contents to one of America’s deadliest fires.
Our community, including Joy Barry, Heather Wilson, Deborah Saul and Maria Houtchens have organised a Go Fund Me page to enable Meri to begin to rebuild her life. This year has been and continues to be disastrous to so many. If you are in a position to contribute to Meri’s fund, please follow this link.
