Title or Location: Sea Cubed collection
I?m passionate about the ocean and lived on it a majority of my life. I would even take my children to observe sea life, in several locations on the coast..Tide pools being one of my favorite! We could observe anemones, sea slugs, starfish and more. Years ago I applied to a school in their Marine Sciences program. I wasn?t accepted because I was a woman!Yeah and that dates me a little. The passion will never die.

In 2018, I had a stroke and forgot how to paint in watercolor. Recently I?ve been taking a few classes and reading a lot of how to books. The passing of my niece?s beloved pet, triggered me to try a realistic subject. She loves my painting and I think I did good.
