California, Stolen Moments ...

Stolen moments. California dreaming. Pastoral Zen. Spaces for healing. Rejuvenate, reinvigorate. Inspiration takes flight again...

Great Inspirations

"Art is the only way to run away without leaving home." 
-- Twyla Tharp

This is such a profound quote for anyone who has experienced great escapism through an art form. Music, writing, drawing and painting, eventually stepped aside for Photography, a synthesis of genres. Whenever I miss the people, the arts, and the energy of Chicago, I spend time creating 'City Novellas' ©. Enjoy!
