Plaza Blanca: Georgia O'Keeffe's White Place
Photo by Danielle Shull I have been traveling like a fat little bee lately, touching down to find my creative spirit pollinated by the sweet beauty of Portugal, Spain, Washington State's San Juan Islands, Zihuatanejo and Mexico City.

Chasing Maria
Maria Chabot in Mexico, 1933. Courtesy of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Research Center In March of 2017 I moved from Walla Walla, WA to Santa Fe, NM to continue researching the life of a slightly distant relative of mine who has fascinated me since my teenage years.
