Poetic Words from Inisfail…Ireland

March 17, 2010

March 15, 2010

Alright before I start this post let me just get this out of the way. No, I do not need to lose weight. Also being an artist I believe a woman should have a body with curves, it should not consist primarily of only skin and bones. So please no fussing at me about my […]

Winter Wonderland

February 16, 2010

When you think of coastal North Carolina the descriptive words “Winter Wonderland” are not exactly what comes to mind. This past Saturday though that is exactly what we woke up too.
