I live and work in Taos, New Mexico, a town of beauty, mystery, and spiritual energy. I was guided here by what some might call the energy of the mountain. Little did I know at the time almost ten years ago that this town would change my being and my very life. That it has done.
When I first came. it was only because a man that I had met in Minden, Nevada, wanted to ski the mountain black diamonds and all, the magic runs of the Taos Ski Valley. I had visited Taos for a day perhaps 8 years before. I didn't know, but the mountain knew--I would return.
My friend stayed for a year and a half, left, and I just knew that I, too, would leave. Not so. I tried. I went back to California, I went back to Nevada over and over again, I was leaving--the mountain knew otherwise.
What a joy this town has been and continues to be for me! I started to paint again, I met a man who would change my life, and I continue to feel the spirit of Taos Mountain. I am a part of Taos.
