My first "publication" was December 1958, age 3: a letter to Santa read on the radio. I asked for a fire truck and doll buggies for my sisters. The thrill of having strangers hear your words? That feeling never gets old.

I live in the low country, a place where the sea meets the land. A place that is neither water nor land but something in between. I have come to love hiking in the subtle beauty of the tidelands, it renews my soul.

Dover is full of history & I love my downtown. If you visit capital of #firstState after watching #kenburns on #PBS stop by #GoldenFleeceTavern where I have gallery. Caesar Rodney is our most famous guy. These are sketches in #historicdistrict #Delaware #artistatwork These are some
range of houses
Partial sketch of historicdistrict #Dover #Delaware #victorian sketch #artistatwork Cursive writing must be taught to our kids. The value of cursive when it comes to early brain development is mind-boggling. We carry a terrific book in teaching cursive that and I’m hoping to publish an old journal with sayings and poetry that they practiced all the calligraphic styles with.
