Transatlantic Transformations: Georgian Architecture in Salem & Portsmouth

Balance and Beauty: Georgian Design in America
Just returned from a wonderful fall forum at Historic Deerfield (www.historic-deerfield.org), "Balance & Beauty: Georgian Design in Early America." Perfect weekend with insightful, informative lectures, thoughtful conversations, thought provoking exhibitions and knowledgeable, gracious and inspiring staff and volunteers. Professionally energizing.

A look at my "inspiration" remix video for "Transatlantic Transformations: Georgian Architecture in Salem and Portsmouth."
