WELCOME!
I am so glad YOU are here!! Come right this way to meet your guide!
Thank you for wanting to be a part of this WildLife quest. I am Lilly Briscoe and will be your guide on this personal journey - I will be here to answer any questions; be a pathfinder to discovering the vast and fascinating lives of animals, plants, and YOU; and of course, I hope we have loads of fun together!
The universe, which includes all the seen beauties and unseen power and potential, is around and within you - and You are a unique expression of this.
There are times we may think we aren't enough, don't matter, don't accept who we are and compare ourselves to those around us - but You, and I hope you know I am speaking to You, are necessary. We each have a Wild Life within, waiting to be recognized and remembered. Seeing the waves of the ocean, hearing the wind through the trees, looking up to see a free bird flying are all reflections of Your Being, for we are all made from the same Matter.
Yet no one, nor one thing is You! You are the only You whom exists and that is why the work to unveil your individual Wild is so vital!
"She imagines accepting it all. The way she accepted nature...She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature...And in doing so, she imagined what is was like to be free" (pg. 143)

As your guide, I have created a personalized WildLife Refuge of 9 native animals who live in this beautiful land here on the Oregon Coast. I hope these drawings and the journey through the Refuge will help to enhance your understanding of the importance of the plants and animals, forest and ocean that surround each one of us. And YOU have a vital purpose and part in all of it! Are you ready to discover your WILD?
Below are a handful of places that were an inspiration throughout my journey while living on the Oregon Coast and seeing all that lives within this diverse ecosystem!
Secret Beach at Cape Meares, OR
The soaring Eagle glides through the clear skies above the horizon of the glistening, infinite seas.
Elks Trail - Manzanita, OR
While hiking to a breathtaking view, Elk graze on the wayside peacefully just feet away!
Tunnel Beach, OR
Walking through a dark and rocky tunnel to emerge into a view of soft sands and with searching eyes, hidden treasure of agate and shells can be found
Pacific City, OR
During many nights of watching the magnificent sunset, Pelicans are seen surfing the ocean waves - this practice is called Wave-Slope Soaring!
