I am a retired veterinary pathologist with a long-standing interest in sustainable technology and historic agriculture. I have 30 years experience interpreting farming to the public (the picture is from the 1990s).
I am an independent artist working directly with the public, using the traditional trade of silhouettes. I interpret and demonstrate the role of portraiture, and society experiences with portraits, chiefly between 1700-1920 (Modern Era).
Colonial Williamsburg is unique among open-air museums. It encompasses 70 hectares (173 acres), where there are no barriers, except for motorised vehicles. Visitors can walk along the streets and visit shops, although an admission ticket is needed to enter workshops and interpretive centres. People working at Colonial Williamsburg are dressed in period costumes and are well versed in both history, the crafts they demonstrate, and in explaining them to the public.

Modern homes are protected by lockable doors and windows, and burglar alarms in many cases. But how well are they protected from evil spirits? By looking closely at historical buildings, sometimes distinctive marks can be found that usually go unnoticed. These were created to protect the house and its occupants from evil spirits.
Imagine a huge Thracian square. There is a colorful dance on it and everyone is dressed in costumes. You are in the dance - you dance crazy in an uneven rhythm, fascinated by the mastery of the musicians ...
