In 2005, I did a series of columns for the weekly newspaper Newport This Week, in which I described life on Aquidneck Island. It was a lot of fun, because I got to deal with a subject very dear to my heart, the history, architecture and art of Aquidneck Island.

The first article printed was The Artist in Us All, wherein I discussed the island's long history of attracting creative people, artists and writers who were thrilled to make this beautiful place their home. In 2006, Balancing the Tides printed an updated version in their premier issue.

The article below is an online capture of the Web version.
