bon dia!

i’m an american artist and writer living in Spain, specifically Catalonia, specifically L'Albi, a beautiful little village of 700 y pico people in the region of Lleida. L’Albi is in the foothills of the foothills of the Pyrenees, just over an hour from Barcelona and just 40 minutes from the beaches along the Mediterranean Sea. here in L’Albi, we’re renovating a house built in 1700, which means this house is older than my nation state of birth. our family purchased this house with another family, with the goal of creating a retreat center for artists, writers, and justice seekers. i look forward to sharing studio space in our aticos (yes, there are two attics) with artists from around the world in search of a peaceful village to get re-inspired, slow down to notice beauty, and enjoy all the goodness that Spain has to offer.
