anet Butler returned to the US after more than 20 years in magical Italy, which still tugs at her heart. She settled in the East Bay, and lives in Victorian Alameda with Fulmi, a beautiful Spaniel mix she rescued in Perugia and brought back with her. Her passions, other than Fulmi, are poetry and watercolors. She will have two chapbooks published this summer, "Under Italian Skies" and "To see you no more", and is currently preparing for a month long one-woman show of her watercolors this July.
