My Story is Art – A Family of Creatives
It is good to be home. That is this week’s mantra. Travel for me is simply a part of life and over the years I’ve grown to adore the open road, packed bags that stay packed and the rush of hopping on a plane nearly every week. This Monday my latest jaunt to Utah culminated […]

My Story is Art – I Climed a Mountain and then Painted One
This time of year in Utah is perfection for me. The summer’s droves of visitors have gone home, the sun is warm and the air is cool. You can stepe 50 ft from the park’s road and hear nothing. The Hubby and I rolled into town late Saturday and decided Sunday would be our day […]

We had the pleasure of stumbling upon international and eco-friendly designer Leila Hafzi.

Rough cut edges and flowing, sweeping shapes in a palette of soft natural hues were a welcome break […]

The models sauntered in a figure eight fashion around the two clusters of limbs allowing their frocks to fan out to their full potential. […]
