Artist History I am of Croatian descent. In 1998 I visited the island of Brac, in the Adriatic Sea near the city of Split in Croatia. I went to the tiny village of Dol where both of my paternal grandparents are from. This experience was one of the most incredible of my life. But it was somehow overshadowed by seeing the effects of war on this beautiful country. Although Brac had barely been affected, we drove through a great deal of Croatia and we were amazed and sobered by what we saw. Having never been in a country torn apart by war (the Civil War was a long time ago) I couldn't believe my eyes. Whole towns and villages levelled. Empty. Sad and ghostly. When I came home to the U.S.A. I wrote Just Like Us (Croatia). Now it happens again in Kosovo.
