Your guide will be: Ursula Ziegler I was born and raised in Villingen, a town in the Black Forest in the south west of Germany. In 1993 I moved to Scotland with life unfolding in the outdoors and in the arts. I arrived here in the USA in 2006, where I have had the great opportunity not only to study at Boston's School of the Museum of Fine Art, but as well to enjoy travel and the outdoors by hiking, kayaking, and camping.
