The Golden Age of Hollywood is still a source of inspiration for the artist and designer. “I was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time,” Strumme says. “People ask me so often, ‘How did you get from Seaside, Oregon to Hollywood, California?’ I had a lot of guts, a lot of determination and a lot of good luck.” In 2009, Strumme was in- ducted into the Seaside High School Hall of Fame for both her student and career achievements.
