Current life

Getting ready to head on to North Carolina and our log cabin out in the woods. We left Jamaica nearly three weeks ago and miss it so!  What a way to live a life.  Fresh air, fresh vegetables and a great community. As my previous career washes away, I find that I am picking up the pieces and beginning to paint and draw with the intensity that I had just coming out of art school.  I will be a part of an exhibit in Treasure Beach at end of May - The Breadbasket Festival, celebrating food, culture and art.  And then back to North Carolina to teach a course in Botanical Drawing at the Bullington Horticultural Center in Hendersonville.  Out one door and through another.  Namaste.
