Back in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, we’ve returned to the home my parents bought when I was 14. Being here is always a treat, especially in the ‘treehouse’ that overlooks the ever-changing marsh. It’s bittersweet though—this is my first visit without my dad, after spending so much cherished time with him here in recent years. I do feel his presence in the expansive views, in the birds that soar through the sky, and in those that visit the bird feeders. And my mom, too—she loved this place deeply, though she only had a few years to enjoy it before she passed.

The Lowcountry feels almost otherworldly—the golden marsh, towering pines, swaying palms, and oak trees draped in Spanish moss create a scene of quiet beauty and peace. There’s inspiration in every tide and shifting sky. Here are two paintings inspired by this special place—one capturing the marsh on a puffy cloud day, the other reflecting the glow of sunset over a high-tide marsh. So pretty.
