[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] I went into Florence last Saturday to do some research and shopping. My host told me about the Orto Botanical which is a botanical garden. This place was interesting in that they labeled everything in the gardens so I was able to put a name to face on some of the plants I…
[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] I went on a walk today. Not too far away, just in the general area. One of the other artists here told me about an abandoned church that was not too far down the road. Having a vague interest in abandoned buildings I was intrigued. Since I didn’t have anything planned today, today…
Monday and Tuesday of this week I worked with the film crew in Florenza. Tuesday I made an appearance in the movie… Monday I worked behind the scenes and most of my free time earlier this week was taken up by them. It was awesome working on a movie in a different culture and the…

Happy Beltane! Finally I am able to blog! Things have been crazy with traveling and work in between. But I traveled through London and arrived in Italy OK. Everything in Italy is a lot more organized than I anticipated it to be – which is reassuring. Tomorrow, I will be doing my first exposures in…
On Sunday evening, I will be leaving America to head to my first stop! London! I am so excited that this is finally happening! God bless the universe for being kind to me in terms of money, after working hard these past 6-9 months on my graphic design work, I’ve made enough to be able…
Last Fall during my Biophilia residency in Wakefield, QC/Ottawa, CA I found an Imperial Moth on the ground during the last day of the residency. Apparently these are pretty uncommon so it was cool to see such a creature. 8 months later, just before I go on my next residency this wonderful creature turned into…
