Lately ...
2012 has been a traveling year ...
Mexico, NY, Delaware, Colorado, NY.
All great places ... but I look forward to
a California summer!

ABOUT ME

I live in coastal southern California, land of sunshine,
waves and gardens. This website to meant to showcase
some facets of my work and life. 

I've been told to tag this page with my name so that
search engines spot it. A good way to do this is to explain
its meaning and pronounciation:

Avra is pronounced AH-vra.  It's a female variant of the
Hebrew name Avram.  Avra means Sea Breeze in Greek
and is associated with aura, atmosphere and breath.

My last name is pronounced (but not spelled) Kauffman.
Common misspellings include Avra Kauffman, Kaufman,
and Kaufmann.  I list these here so search engines will
default to this site, making it easier to find me.
