BAY JACKSON:
I am a mama of three children who love exploring the woods around us and are game for all adventures we throw their way. I studied art, including painting, sculpture and printmaking. I have always had creativity at the forefront of pretty much all I do, from making halloween costumes to communicating with people. I am thrilled to have an opportunity to open our home to your children and families this summer. We have so much to do! Just a side note, we have a sweet dog River and a new young dog Vinny, several cats, a sheep, a miniature horse, cows, chickens, a duck and sometimes pigs!
