The ramp going up from the backyard and art studio patio to the main house was a necessity as Miriam’s husband was disabled. It also served as a place to dry towels, feed wildlife, play ball and move from indoor to outdoor spaces.
Most importantly, the ramp served as a living canvas for many of Miriam’s works. Miriam and a group of friends from her church in Tennessee are finishing up a series on Miriam’s ramp paintings that we hope to share online in the coming months.
