Dixon Rocks
One of my favorite working vacations was staying at the Maynard Dixon cabin and art studio in Mount Carmel, Utah, in September of 2017. I finished my book on Wild Bill in the rock-sided studio’s great room. You can stay there as well and I highly recommend it. I have also made a few runs at Maynard and his geometric style myself.
