while attending art school there was this place called “devil’s punchbowl” where we would visit to take a break. a country road takes you here and a small hike down into a ravine opens up into this amazing bowl shaped piece of earth. the fresh air, the many varieties of vegetation and color, and the layers of rock always inspire.

every time we make it up north we visit our friends john and kathy. they live in a little town called downsville where they raise chickens, tend to a big vegetable and flower garden and john makes and sells his pottery. i have always admired the textures and the overall natural beauty and spirit of their homestead and love seeing how it evolves over time.
a view looking up from the garden. they have recently started to add solar panels to power their home.
the most recent addition is the octagonal schoolhouse that they have moved to their land. they are now renovating it and will soon be the new location for the pottery shop. they also plan to host small music events, art shows, and speakers and lecturers in the space.
