So grateful that I sold Lighthouse Art this year and donated 10% of the proceeds to St. Marks Wildlife Refuge and Lighthouse.
With so much bad news dominating the headlines, it’s good to read that Americans embraced the true spirit of Christmas this year.
According to Reuters, while Food Banks saw an increase in people seeking help, they also received unparalleled donations.
Other non profits saw giving increase 7.9% over 2019. Americans of all income brackets gave.
As Bob Hope once said, “My idea of Christmas, whether old fashioned or modern is loving others. Come to think of it; why wait for Christmas to do that?”
May we continue to embrace the spirit of Christmas each day.
My art is shaped by childhood trips to historic Fort George Island. My passion for history and the ocean began early. While my father fished, I played on the jetties and splashed on the beach with my siblings.
Although my parents were baffled by their artistic child, they never discouraged me from following my dream. They supported me at Hampton University. My mother flew to my graduation from the University of Hawaii.
Whether painting lighthouses, portraits or historic buildings, I recall the fond days when my love of the ocean and history were instilled.

Good to hear the giving spirit is alive and well, and as you say, hope it continues. Hope you Christmas is filled with good cheer.
