We met in 2018 at Sculpture Trails Outdoor Museum during the month long cast iron workshop. Sadly at the end of July Julie had to go back to New Mexico

We spent hours video chatting and texting and decided we couldn't stand the distance and made plans to visit each other.

Paul and Ingot visited Julie in New Mexico!

Julie visits Paul in Indiana!

After a lot of time (and gas) spent traveling back and forth from Indiana to New Mexico...

Julie moved to Indiana to be with Paul

We got to pour iron together again

Once Paul's art residency had ended, we moved to Asheville to pursue our dreams of starting our own sculpture park.

On April 10, 2020, we brought home our second daughter Effie.

In July 2023 we went back to Sculpture Trails as artists. This is last photo taken of us as "boyfriend and girlfriend"
