As long as I can remember, my love for the beach was part of my being. As a child my family made annual trips to Florida beaches in the winters, trips t the Warren Dunes of Lake Michigan in the summers, and had a lake cottage in Ohio. The vibrant hues of cerulean blue, violet, emerald green, and greens that are sometimes nearly brown, mingled with the white crest of the waves alternate between invigorating vibes and peaceful ones. The primal heartbeat of the sea. Growing up, creativity was a part of life. Making my own clothing, mixing patterns, writing short stories & haikus, playing piano and flute; eventually studying interior design, taking art classes and beginning a career in interior design. In the 90s I dabbled in watercolor, when a client of mine was a watercolorist, offering a few sessions with friends. This past spring I traveled to Provence for a watercolor workshop & became inspired to immerse myself, to see what I could create. A few of these pieces I have done over the years while the main body of work features watercolors from this past year, living here at the beach. The rest are photos, mainly local scenes. I hope as you view these pieces, you will feel the sense of deep peace and the richness of life that the colors of the sea bring to me. I hope also that you will feel inspired to see what new creative richness you can add to your life.
