Elizabeth sort of summed it all up during our pre-launch pow-wowed last night, on the eve of the 2015 Squam release …  there's just more and more light, so as long as you're doing the work , a spot on revelation and   exactly how it feels to me too. Ever expansive, wildly wonder-full, with new dreams becoming one after another. It's official! (dramatic drumroll, please) In 2015, I will be working for Squam Art Workshops <----- hello, dream come true! And not only will I be by the lake for two whole weeks helping to bring to life Elizabeth's vision and the magic that is Squam, I'll be doing it with one of my most favorite co-inspirers, Nina Gilbert . The most magical manifestations are a wild combination of "OMG! I must totally be dreaming!" and " Of course.  This was meant to be." This collaboration is right, smack, in the sweet spot. As dreams come true go, it's taken years of evolution to arrive at this destination
