Honored to have my painting "Simple Pleasures" chosen to be included in the 2026 Annual National Exhibit with the SCWS--watercolor with accents of sparkles just as my granddaughter would like as she was the model for the painting!
Honored my watercolor painting "Swamp Tupelo" was chosen by the editors for the cover of "The Winyah Bay
Watershed Literary Field Guide". I submitted three images which are in the book--the Long leaf Pine,
the Live Oak and the Swamp Tupelo. A reception/book signing is being held this Friday, June 5th,
2026 at Island Art Gallery. The artwork done for the book will be on display and many of the writer's
who have pieces in the book will do readings!

A big thank you to my clients who entrusted me to capture their vision of home or place for their special loved ones!
Happy that my submission, “Dance of the Dragonfly” , has been juried in to the South Carolina Watermedia Society’s 45th Annual National Exhibition at the South Carolina State Museum. Just updating to let you know it was voted in to the Traveling show and received the Member’s Award recognition! It will be on display at the South Carolina State Museum until January 2023 and then travel the state. I will have prints available soon at Island Art Gallery in Pawleys Island, SC.

“Morning has Broken”, oil on canvas, 24×48
Just finished this commissioned piece for a precious couple that have been faithful clients for years. Thankful to all those patrons who have made it possible for me to continue doing what I love and for your continued support for Island Art Gallery in Pawleys Island, SC!
Latest work in progress—always a thrill to see the Spoonbills make their way to Atalaya every year!
Beach Sunrise, oil on canvas, 36″x48″
Nothing like a beautiful sunrise to remind us what a gift each new day is. Finally finished this painting whose creation started at the beginning of the pandemic last year. Pretty interesting to look back at all the stages of this painting from month to month–some of which seem very dark–perhaps a sign of the times. As the painting evolved and carried me into 2021, it finally took on the calm simplicity of an early morning on the beach that I had intended it too. This one will be heading to Island Art Gallery later this week!
Happy to see “Southern Marsh” make its way to a new home after working several months on it. It’s not too often you sell a painting before the paint has a chance to fully dry, but this one did. I am so thankful to the sweet couple that bought it, they gave me a much need boost to keep painting during these challenging times!
