We live in the desert so the Palm theme resonates. The color scheme is brilliant and perfect. We would like to see more from this artist. Where do we look?

The original staircase had no hand railing, just the stairs! The railings were added years later at the request of the sisters. Definitely a sacred space. I loved visiting. Great photo Jeff. L
