As someone who has been visiting Fripp Island since I was a young girl, this collection of paintings is very personal to me. Every brushstroke and every color was inspired by the memories and experiences I've had on this magical island.
As I painted these works of art, I was transported back to the sandy beaches, the salty air, and the warm embrace of the island's natural beauty. The deer and alligators that roam the island were a constant source of wonder and inspiration for me, and I've done my best to capture their spirit and vitality in each painting.
But it's not just the wildlife that makes Fripp Island special to me. It's the sense of community, the creative energy, and the deep connection to the land and sea that I've felt since I was a child. Each painting in this collection is a celebration of that connection, a reminder of the beauty and wonder that can be found in the world around us if we take the time to look.
Whether you're a long-time resident of Fripp Island or simply a lover of art and nature, these paintings are a tribute to the power and majesty of this magical place. So come and join me on a journey through Fripp Island, and let these paintings transport you to a world of beauty and wonder.
Through the "Blue" collection, I aim to capture the essence of life in the world's waters, portraying an array of fascinating creatures and stunning underwater landscapes. From the vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful fish to the mysterious depths inhabited by elusive deep-sea dwellers, each piece showcases the wonder and allure of the watery realms that cover over 70% of our planet.
In this series, I've chosen to emphasize the color blue, using various shades and tones to convey the tranquility and vastness of the ocean. The paintings feature a harmonious balance of realism and impressionistic techniques, bringing to life the ethereal beauty of underwater scenes and capturing the essence of the ocean's many moods.

This collection has raised over $5000 for "The Ocean Foundation".
