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.
If you like colors then this is great to look at. Art is not just copying great scenes such as are on Edisto Island where I live. Art can be just a mixtures of colors that pleases the eye. Put in a little mystery images and you have another thing to look at and wonder what it really means. I like a little of both. I live in a paradise and the local birds make beautiful pictures and things to wonder about. How about 25 egrets seen on a marsh island just sitting there and themselves wondering what life is all about. Great things happen when we let our minds just sit and wonder about it all. A little yellow with a splash of green and throw in a little red and you have something unique for the world to sit and wonder about.
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.
