Southwestern NH, but my heart's community is in Benzie County.


I relished the quiet and solitude of my time at Sawbill, getting away from Daily Life lets creativity settle in. I got up to working on an ongoing book project, tinkered with new ideas, hiked twice a day, hitting many Grand Traverse Land Conservancy areas. Watched crescent-shaped shadows bounce across the neighbors house during the eery light of the spring eclipse. Thank you for making your space available to artists.
