Spend a day with an artist in their studio and you'll get a glimpse of their body of work. Spend a day in their home and you'll get a glimpse of their soul. Such was the case when friend Kay Reardon and I traveled to Pickens, SC to visit the studio and home of Ellen Kochansky and her husband Jamie Davis in the foothills of South Carolina. Kay and I were in awe of the natural beauty that surrounded their art compound but were also awed by the artful way they live their lives.

Kay and I went to Ellen's studio to assist her with an art project that she's been commissioned to do for a hospital in Charleston, SC.

The inscription reads, "doni…endless thanks for your help, support and inspiration. love, ellen. Ellen, thanks for the "hearts," I know you are sending healing hearts for my ailing one!
