Sunset Over The Marsh

Born and raised in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, my small hometown has always been a big part of who I am today. I've grown up loved and looked after by my community--something which has instilled in me strong pride for my home and my family, which I have elected to use as the baseline for much of my work. Focusing on the Cherry Grove marsh, I painted a watercolor of the sunset from pictures my mom and I have taken. I was inspired by the changing light and the vibrant colors in both the sky and reflections off the water, and I tried to capture the stillness and warmth of a summer sunset over the marsh.
