Art In The Schools on Ocracoke..... Captain's Landing

Thanks to the kindhearted folks at Captain's Landing, my Mother was able to join me while I was teaching on Ocracoke.  Her mobility has been limited, and as her disease progresses it's deteriorating even more rapidly.

At Captain's Landing, we were welcomed with open arms into a first floor handicapped accessible suite that overlooked Silver Lake Harbor.  We were treated to a front row seat for an ever-changing amazing view, and the most glorious sunsets that I've ever seen in my life!  Thanks to them, my Mother was able to enjoy all of this without ever leaving the comfort of our room, and I was able to enjoy my time with her.

This is the only photo that I have of Karen Lovejoy.
With her assistance, and a bit of food, I was almost
able to touch the beloved Ocracats
who live at Captains's Landing.  

Captain's Landing has rentals and a sweet gift shop too!

I feel certain that this will be the first of many visits to

Captain's Landing, and I'm already looking forward to a return trip!

If you're heading to Ocracoke, and seeking an inviting place 

in the heart of it all, Captain's Landing is for you!

Georgia On My Mind

I continue to "enjoy the journey" to and from my shows, and last week's was an especially memorable one. My participation in The Telfair Art Museum Show provided me with the impetus for my first visit to Savannah.

My adventure is probably best told in a series of photos. While they won't capture everything, hopefully they'll provide you with a glimpse of the beauty that surrounded me and the eclectic experience that I had during my time there. You'll also find a few more photos from the road on my Facebook Page.

In addition to these photos, my favorite memories are definitely of the people I met along the way. My customers who shared their stories, their memories, and their generous spirits...the girl scouts who performed in my booth a song that they wrote about Spanish Moss...the talented artists...the volunteers and show organizers who epitomized the legendary hospitality of Savannah...the police officers who guarded us and our creations around the clock during our visit...and "Christine Sullivan" who kept me company as I rolled up my little corner of the street.

It was a memorable trip all around, and I'm already looking forward to a return visit.
