There has been a lighthouse on Tybee Island near Savannah almost as long as the history of Georgia as a colony. The first light was built in 1733. And although the light has been rebuilt a number of times, the current one dates back to after the US Civil war.

This was my first morning visit to beautiful Tybee Island. I had come to see Savannah but I spent an inordinate amount of time enjoying the beautiful views and sea air out on Tybee, and quickly understood why people fall in love with this place.

Still, I'm glad I got there early. Only a short time later, the historic lighthouse was no longer the quiet sanctuary in this first photo of the morning. Love the crisp whites from the strong morning sun and the great clouds streaking the skies. It was late summer bordering autumn, the time of the year I most often see skies like this at least here in Georgia.

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.

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...
