About Me

Nestled in the sleepy hills of Western Massachusetts, I am the towns of Great Barrington, Housatonic, Lee, Lenox, North and South Egremont, Monterey, Otis, Sandisfield, Stockbridge, Dalton, West Stockbridge, Sheffield, Alford, Lanesboro, Pittsfield, Williamstown, Becket, New Marlborough, Windsor, Hinsdale, Richmond, Washington, Adams, North Adams, Hancock and a crap load more of other small towns . My landscapes are breathtaking in the fall, you can ski with me in the winter, and I bring culture and joy in the spring and summer. I am all those Norman Rockwell paintings--I am the place you wish you grew up, if you weren't lucky enough to already be from here!

My Interests

Fall foliage, summer theater, skiing, hiking, high school football, B & Bs, renowned restaurants, music festivals, providing refuge to world-weary New Yorkers, playing host to lucky campers in the summer, hiking, swimming in rivers, snow...
