I have been lucky to live in both the Carolinas in my lifetime. Both Charlotte, N.C. and Hilton Head Island, S.C. were once home. So any time I come back to visit the South, the familiarity is heartwarming and the friendships I made are quickly rekindled. My artistic muscle was stretched in both locations and has contributed to the clay pieces I make today.
The beach holds many treasures. Here are some items I collected while taking a walk. I will use the driftwood as handles or bases for my work.
Early morning run, swim, walk!
I am happy to participate in community projects including this Lend A Hand fundraiser. I picked the word "ENERGY" and interpreted it in the artwork you see below. This 8 x 8 canvas will be available for auction to raise money for 'Blessings in a Backpack'.
The sun represents endless energy to me. The finished artwork along with all the other artist donations is available at The Muse in Frederick, Md.
