One of the most memorable days of this trip was spent in Otranto with my cousin, Julie.
We wandered through the old town, discovered centuries-old frescoes tucked inside stone churches, and spent the afternoon floating in the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
The colors here hardly seem real — soft limestone, endless shades of blue, and sunlight reflecting across the water. As an artist, it’s impossible not to come home inspired.
Grateful for this day, this place, and the chance to experience it with family. 🤍
