I recently had the absolute pleasure of meeting artist Nancy Sharpe in her beautiful studio which happens to be in a 100-year old barn on the property of her Connecticut home. She calls it Cider House Studio as it once was the place where the apples were processed from the surrounding orchards. Nancy gave everything a coat of white paint and the natural light floods in through the windows and even ...
