I live in a hand-built, solar-powered home in southern Vermont, and get outside every day without being online! Walking and hiking is the best way to empty your mind and move into a creative space, at least for me. Whether I’m in a city, a foreign country, or home hiking in Vermont, a daily plod is what sustains me. Welcome to my website and I hope you enjoy it!
