After a couple of trips to Newport for the weekend we decided we wanted to live here.  So we bought our little cottage and moved from Salem in 2004.

We are both retired from real jobs and have ended up with our hobbies almost becoming  a real job; but we don’t have to punch the clock.  We work when we want and do the things we love. 

Michael does graphic art design, 3-D animation, photography, (including weddings, family portraits, family reunions, senior portraits etc) computer art, web design, photo restoration, giclée prints for artists of their original work and anything else you can throw at him.

I do the lampwork beads, handmade greeting cards, my zipper jewelry as well as regular jewelry, mosaics, decorative painting, knitting, stain glass and whatever else strikes my fancy.
