Fruita, Colorado is home for many crafters and artisans, poets and performers. Cullen Purser is one of the best. A gentle spirit, Cullen’s passion is forever learning the character and craft of working with wood. He has built: harps, guitars, and fine furniture.

The words are elegant and deeply touching, the melodies reminiscent of the lyre. Click for a Free Press cameo.
