I have been painting and drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. But as I got older I got sucked into the 9-5 40 hour work week. I hung my art up to dry until the 2020 pandemic hit. I got my supplies out and started creating again. That joy, passion, and pride that came with creating art rushed back to me like a tidal wave. That was when BeOceanMindedART was born. All of my work is inspired by the tropics and the ocean.
