Thank you for your interest in us and in our work!

We are transplanted New Yorkers who spent 30 years in Arizona where we raised our two children, before selling our home in Phoenix and moving to Italy to fulfill our dream to "live cheap and make art." We lived in Umbria, Sicily, the Veneto and on the Amalfi Coast, spending about six months in each of those four regions, shooting and painting almost daily. It was the adventure of a lifetime and we documented the journey in a blog we kept as a diary where you can read about this experience and see more of our images of Italy and other European cities at our Italy blog Live Cheap and Make Art.

We currently live in Milford, Delaware where we continue to find interesting subjects for our cameras and brushes. To follow our Delaware lives, visit our blog Live Cheap and Make Art USA.


About Bob: I am a photographer, a retired firefighter and photo teacher with a degree in Fine Art from Arizona State University who loves to capture people in their everyday lives as well as intimate scenes of nature, architectural details and the environment. In 2008, my photograph entitled "Little Nun, Good Friday, Enna" was selected to be included in an exhibition honoring the photographer Gordon Parks at the Delaware Art Museum in Wilmington, Delaware.

About Rosemary: I studied fine art and graphic design at Arizona State University and worked for over 20 years as a graphic designer. I specialize in watercolor journal paintings of our travels, botanical studies and creating watercolor journals, working with pen and ink and watercolor.

Our images are printed on acid-free archival paper using pigmented inks and are carefully packaged by us to ensure safe delivery. Original watercolors are available for some of the images on this web site. Please contact us for further information and pricing.
