My house is in the city of Cincinnati amongst the homes of 19th century abolitionists and freedom fighters in a diverse, historic neighborhood—talk about an inspiring place to live, with so much history! I regularly seek out the history of such places and look for the connection to the modern world for my creations. My third-floor studio is in an old home set atop the hill, nestled within nature, which overlooks the forest where many traveled for freedom on the Underground Railroad. It is a small bright space that allows me to paint at any time of day and night and still attend to my family life and quickly growing children. We have a beautiful old front porch that is an additional quiet refuge for painting. I spend much spring and summer mornings painting, surrounded by nature. I find the beauty of nature outside every window.
