“The most important thing for everyone in Gringolandia is to have ambition and become ‘somebody,’ and frankly, I don’t have the least ambition to become anybody.”

— Frida Kahlo

Welcome to Made in SMA. I’m an artist, photographer, writer, and lover of adventure.  My husband John Meyer and I moved to the magical pueblo of San Miguel de Allende in the Central Highlands of Mexico a few years ago.  One of my goals since arriving has been to create a blog to share our experiences and give you a bit of insight into all the wonderful places and people we have encountered along the way. I will be visiting the studios of local artists and artisans, sharing ideas about Mexican food and culture, and communicating my love for my new adopted home. I hope to inform and inspire you and take you with me on my journey.

“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.”
