This page is a tribute to Tanya Kimberly Orme (1985-2009). Please feel free to share your appreciation for having known her, and her philosophy of life. Her book reflects the last few years of her extraordinary life. "Non-Local Flow: Good Chi, The Sea and Me" is an exquisite, 216-page, full-color, landscape view biography/travelogue book that contains the poetry, prose and abstract expressionism a
rtwork of Tanya Orme, a young and soulful adventurer who shunned a conventional lifestyle and traveled the globe by modest means on a journey of self-discovery. Her desire to "some day write a story about my travels" never came to fruition, due to her sudden, tragic death. This is that story, Tanya's book, which was compiled from her paintings and countless travel journals. A portion of all book and painting reproductions are donated to charities. "Non-Local Flow" will appeal to anyone with an appreciation for authentic artistic expression and in particular, young adults seeking a direction in life. It is a colorful, living treasure of more than 400 original reflections by the author that will bring insight and empowerment in daily life. It includes more than 120 paintings and sketches by the author, some never seen before, and now rendered priceless since they were retrieved from sources found after her death. Tanya's writings include an amazingly broad range of subjects that include love, art, poetry, travel, sailing, surfing, racism and prejudice, discrimination, philosophy, morality, self-esteem, confidence, self-reliance, achievement, health, spirituality, sadness and soulful journeys on a path of self-discovery.
