East, to a little village in Devon, England, a town I’ve been familiar with for years, since my friends Brian and Wendy Froud and Alan Lee all live there. It had long been my dream to live in England, so I finally bought a little old cottage over there. But I decided, both for visa and health reasons, living there half the year would be better than trying to cope with cold, wet Dartmoor winters. At that point, Beth Meacham had moved out to Arizona, and I discovered how wonderful the Southwest is, particularly in the wintertime. Now I spend every winter-spring in Tucson and every summer-autumn in England. Both places strongly affect my writing and my painting. They’re very opposite landscapes, and each has a very different mythic history. In Tucson, the population is a mix of Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and Euro-Americans of various immigrant backgrounds — so the folklore of the place is a mix of all those things, as well as the music and the architecture. The desert has its own colors, light, and rhythms. In Devon, by contrast, it’s all Celtic and green and leafy, and the color palette of the place comes straight out of old English paintings — which is more familiar to me, growing up loving the Pre-Raphaelites and England’s ‘Golden Age’ illustrators. I’ve learned to love an entirely different palette in Arizona, where the starkness of the desert is offset by the brilliance of the light, the cactus in bloom, and the wild colors of Mexican decor.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Terri Windling" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/terri-windling/twelve-years-ago-i-left-boston-and-new-york-and-moved-east-and-west/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1f4/terri-windling-8504_art_twelve-years-ago-i-left-boston-and-new-y_379780.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1f4/terri-windling-8504_art_twelve-years-ago-i-left-boston-and-new-y_379780.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1f4/terri-windling-8504_art_twelve-years-ago-i-left-boston-and-new-y_379780.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Twelve years ago I left Boston and New York, and moved east and west at the same time.
