CV/Bio
Leaving Indianapolis to live on a sailboat for several years, was a somewhat daunting idea. But after going through breast cancer treatment, my husband, Frank, and I were ready for adventure!
Frank and I were fairly well-seasoned sailors, having "practiced" for about nine years on Lake Michigan. Most of our "hairiest" adventures took place on the Great Lakes--not on the ocean--although, we never took crossing the Gulf Stream lightly. Our first trip to the Abaco Islands in the Bahama chain was truly a wild ride!
All of this is what led us to Charleston, SC; plus our youngest daughter was enrolled at the College of Charleston. She likes to say we followed her here--and it is partly true! We fell in love with Charleston! Charleston is such a beautiful place; one can hardly not want to paint or photograph or somehow capture the beauty of the lowcountry. The colors, the winter skies, the sunsets, the wildlife, the historic district, the galleries, the artists......it is a haven for any artistic endeavor.
And so I began my journey with paint--never suspecting that it would lead to participating in juried art shows, showing my work in galleries, being a board member for the Charleston Artist Guild, donating pieces of art to charity events and fundraisers, and much more. We are so lucky to live in Charleston, SC., and I am so fortunate to have found painting at this time in my life.
