Briar Haven (1/30/2010)

The name of my home and my photography and partially the name of my favorite perfume (Nantucket Briar). Everyone needs a safe place and that is a Haven. In my life though I couldn't find that Haven without going through some very painful situations therefore the Briar part of the name. Let's face it anyone who has gotten stuck in a briar patch knows how painful it is and how difficult to extract yourself from it. Well I am no different. It wasn't until I was in my 40s that I found my safe haven after going through some very painful parts of my life. And so Briar Haven was born through my photography and then my home in the mountains of North Carolina.
