Coastal Wildlife

Coastal North Carolina is a treasure trove of wildlife diversity! From playful dolphins and majestic loggerheads to gentle manatees and adorable otters, the region is teeming with fascinating creatures. Discovering new subjects to explore is always an exciting adventure here. Truly, it's a blessing to experience such vibrant natural beauty!

Blue Crab

Blue crabs are delightful little creatures, full of personality and charm. Their quirky movements and vibrant colors make them a fascinating subject for watercolor painting. Capturing their unique features on paper was an enjoyable experience!

Loggerhead

Loggerhead turtles are truly magnificent creatures, and their unique shape and colors inspire me. In Surf City, where they are protected these turtles symbolize the beauty of nature that we must cherish and preserve. It is my hope that through watercolor painting I can capture their essence, showcasing the intricate details of their shells and the gentle grace of their movements.

Baby Steps

Baby loggerhead turtles on Topsail Island are truly a marvel of nature. Their journey from the nest to the shore is nothing short of a miracle, filled with challenges and triumphs. As they bravely make their way toward the ocean, each tiny turtle embodies resilience and determination, reminding us of the wonders of life.
