I was called to be an artist. And as an old old midwife said to me "If the Lord wants you to do something, you won't have no good luck' til you do." So, here I am, sharing what I love, longing to illuminate the work of art, which is everywhere.
Charlotte, I really enjoy seeing your paintings of Edisto. My son got married there in October, so it is a special place. Love the color, style and feelings evoked in this painting. Lovely.
The first time I visited Edisto, almost thirty five years ago, I had the overwhelming feeling I was coming home. I look forward to your paintings because you capture the magic that is Edisto and for a moment I’m back there again.
Peaceful and GORGEOUS. Love the colors!! I think this is one of your best works! I’m loving how your work is taking a softer, more flowing, path. Just wonderful. Congratulations!! Love, Molly
Welcome to my blog about the Lowcountry of South Carolina, a place proud with beauty, history and art. Sometimes we feel a call, to be, to go, to do. I was called to be an artist, and as an old midwife from Alabama said, “If the good Lord wants you to do something, you won’t have no good luck until you do it.”
So here I am writing about what I know, about the 'under glimmer' as the poet Basho, says, the way I have learned to see, to notice. I am inspired by, and talking about the history and art and culture of this place that has called me to herself. By the ancestors.
My background includes a degree in fine arts from a small private college in Florida, and before that, four years of all girls' boarding school in Asheville. I worked as a professional photographer, helped my children grow up, and now and I love seasoned things, good food, better conversation, beauty, my beloved and beautiful Italian Greyhound, Beau. Moved by the sacred places and stories of this beautiful historic land called the Lowcountry, I am here in spirit and I hope to infect you with my love of this place.
How pretty
