Brick walls with colorful paintings by Raphaella Vaisseau. On left of center, I’m standing behind two tables where I’ll paint in this new studio.

I’m here in my new studio at Trackside Studios, 375 Depot St, Asheville. First day I actually worked here. So blessed to have a space not even 5 months out from the flood and Hurricane Helene. The human spirit is amazing.
