I actually painted this in 2008 but had placed it in long term storage while living over seas. I was finally able to retrieve it to take a photo of it. Stannard Rock Lighthouse was completed in 1993 and is located on Lake Superior, 24 miles from the nearest land. It is 44 miles north of Marquette, Michigan. It can only be viewed by boat or airplane. My husband took a few photos while doing inspection work there. I used these photos for my reference.

I attempt to capture light and color that breathe life into the subjects I paint. I wish to carry the viewer on this journey with me, to find interest in the ordinary. I have always loved art! However, I chose to pursue a degree in education and pursued a career as a school counselor, got married and started a family; which left little time for art. I grew to miss it. During the past five years, I have immersed myself in painting every chance I get and reading all I can about art. I reconnected to my original love for art. I love how it feels to start with a fresh piece of paper. It�s like I�m seeing something for the first time, when I study it to paint it. I apply paint and can�t wait to see what happens.
