at home in the world Welcome to my chronicle. I have embarked on my 'global art studio tour' (GAST). Who knows how long i'll be gone or where exactly it will take me. I hope to meet as many artists, see as many studios, and make as much art work as possible before my return. If you wish to sponsor me, you will receive a peice of artwork, of your choice, after my return at the value of which you sponsor me. (does that make sense?) Put another way, you can pre-purchase artwork from me, if you would like. The two ways to get money to me are (1)Send it to my parents who will deposit it: c/o Ron & Janine Parrish, 9102 Towanna Tr., Austin, TX 78736, USA. OR (2) email me (via this website) for Paypal information. (my account is under my email address, if you already have that.) Thanks so much. Please comment as freely and frequently as you wish on articles and picture. ~heather

There is a legend here about a creature called Golem. On the north side of the old town is a large Jewish quarter (where our dear Franz Kafka was born and died). Golem is essentially a Jewish Frankenstein - made by a Rabbi, not a scientist. Some say ... Read more >

Prague - the stories are true

CZECH REPUBLIC | Sunday, 1 Jul 2007 | Views [574]

Despite first impressions from my ghetto-stylin' hostel, what everyone says about Prague is true: it is beautiful! I've had 5 days here on my own. (I'm still always a little surprised by how much I enjoy being on my own.) Taking it slow since Angie and ... Read more >
