This is the state my son’s mother is from and when we lived there, I don’t know if I ever fell more in love with an area than I did with this one. Oddly enough, it is also the most challenging location I have ever lived in. I will not say it was all magical, because it was also where I lost nearly everything I thought was important. My skewed views coming from central Texas had no real chance of surviving in this area without help. Still, the lighthouse imagery is meant to represent my son, and while he was born in Texas, he lived in Rhode Island for a good chunk of his life. Neither of us have plans to head back for more than a short visit, but the impact it had on me will stay forever.

My brother moved to California to chase wines. He has degrees based in culinary arts and hospitality, which he used throughout the 20 years he worked there. When I visited him, I was mystified by the geography, the vineyards and farms sprawling among the rolling hills. It's not hard to see why people would flock to that part of the world

The next piece is called Route 66 which is based upon the travels that my mom and her husband went on when they were young, then where we went when I was young and it's supposed to reflect the concepts of the deserts Arizona New Mexico and California
One of the goals of this particular piece was to try to envision the concept of movement motion and the joy of road trips long nights with multiple other passengers and drivers and enjoying the freedom of the road
