I think of myself as an artist and I believe that living a creative and inspiring life is as meaningful as creating a single piece of art.I always try to access creative energy by leaving a space for it in my life. I also believe that occasionally I must be willing to give up what I am to become what I will be.I live in a small cottage by the name of Bird by Bird from Annie LaMotte's book of the same title. It has a special meaning to me. My constant goal is collecting and noticing small moments--particularly plain everyday things and most often I find that in nature, though it could be also be found in the most simple of possessions....It is my hope that you will enjoy the beauty that surrounds us through all seasons in this very beautiful spot of land that we call Easton Village. I feel fortunate to illuminate its beauty.
