Cockspur Island Light was originally built in the 1830's as a daymarker for the South Channel of the Savannah River. It wasn't lit as a lighthouse for nearly another decade. The original light was damaged in a hurricane in 1854 and was rebuilt the following year. The historic light standing in the marshy waters between Savannah and Tybee Island is still the light built in 1855!

It hasn't been in use as a beacon since 1909 but was re-lit for its historical value in 2007.

Lit or not, it's a gorgeous piece of Georgia's coastal history!

Life is full of happy surprises. After just over a decade working in the 9 to 5 cube world, I threw caution to the wind to follow my dreams of being a full time visual artist. That was five years ago! Is it easy? No, but something truly worthwhile is rarely simple. My body of work is wide ranging from photographic scenes of far away places, more near and dear locations, and more fanciful artwork. It's all crafted with a heartfelt love for finding the beauty in little captured moments. My artwork also hangs on walls near and far from private homes to businesses who have chosen to decorate with my art. Whether you've purchased one piece or a house full or you simply admire and share with your friends, your patronage of my art is...
