As many of you know, I am currently studying art on the island of Paros in Greece. My hope is that I will be able to post photos of the week, as well as whatever painting or photo I have created so far, every Friday. Paros is a small island in the Cyclades, about 650 kil around, with an average population of 1,100. I am studying art with both Americans and Greeks alike, and am being taught by some really incredible professors (one of which was even an assistant to THE Ansel Adams.) Here, I reside in the town of Parikia, the main port town on the island. Today, the group of us took a hike to Lefkes, the main mountain town located in the center of Paros. The photos that need to will have captions, but I think this place pretty much speaks for itself. There is a beauty and serenity here unlike any I have felt before. I truly feel both humbled and blessed to be here, and I hope my posts can shed a little light on this already life-altering experience. As the greeks say, γεια μας.
