it’s been a year since i have posted and a lot has happened. we sold our house in phoenix, planned on living in ireland, that did not work out, we came back to the states, lived in denver with my daughter for a few months and traveled across the country twice looking for a place to call home. we went through many states and saw some wonderful sights and museums, we even went to the parthenon in nashville. 

we explored living in various places and finally settled where we have some good friends, the natural landscape is amazing, and the people are really friendly: tryon, north carolina. we fell in love with it. i know it will inspire my work going forward, as well as give me lots to discover and learn about.
