Inspired by artists who also used their homes as a stage for their work like David Parr, Peggy Angus and Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant’s work at Charleston, her approach is at once scholarly and playful. ‘I enjoy living in a house that is my own creation and is not constrained by any particular style or fashion.’

    Daughter of Caesars is one of my favorites!

    1. Hello, Miss ES, thanks so much for asking. BlogTalkRadio has gone out of business and taken all my podcasts with it, I am sorry to say. I am long overdue in housekeeping on by blog as many links seem to have died the death. Thanks again for reaching out!

  2. I'm so sorry that it took all your podcasts! So frustrating. But it explains why I was suddenly getting broken downloads. I also missed catching a lot of things that went out of date by just months while I was taking a health break.
