This painting was created as the focal point for the "Women in the Arts" Celebration at the Abaco Inn on Elbow Cay on November 24, 2018. This was one of the first shots I took with my Olympus TOUGH underwater camera when I first got it. That image has been bouncing around in my head for a while..... I was very glad to get it out of my head and on a 60 inch canvas!

Here's a Bahamian sea turtle on her morning cruise, just under the surface of the water. Original is available, contact Kim, please. -

“Lift up your head to the rising sun, Bahamaland…”
Inspired by the opening line of the Bahamas national anthem, this light-filled painting captures the quiet strength of a sea turtle rising through crystalline waters. Sunlight fractures across her back as she moves upward, powerful and unhurried. Beneath her, the reef hums with layered color—blues, aquas, and golds shaped by current and memory.But there’s more here than meets the eye. Meaning drifts just beneath the surface, if you know where to look.
Bahamaland is both a portrait and a hymn—a tribute to the sacred, living waters of a place I’ve come to call home. -

Start something. Finish doing that. Go on to the next thing, rinse and repeat. Wise words from Steve Straus. -
This is one of my husband's favorites. I painted three extra blue crabs so I'd have a set of EIGHT for my note cards (that come with paper bag envelopes!) -
This painting began the moment I pressed play on the audiobook of Braiding Sweetgrass and picked up a brush.
I started with a blank canvas and no idea what I was going to paint. I thought the book might be something like the old Foxfire books about living off the land. Instead, as the stories unfolded — including the creation story of Turtle Island — the painting slowly began to take shape.
A reclining dreamer appeared.
Her braids drift through the water like currents, carrying the movement of the painting across the canvas. Around her, the dream fills with sea life — fish moving through open water, shells and reefs, and above them a dark celestial planet holding Turtle Island itself, a world suspended in space.
At one point a snake appeared in the painting and honestly scared me. Instead of painting it out, I placed it inside an unbreakable glass globe. The snake remained there, alive but contained, ready but unable to strike... and the dream felt like it could continue again.
As the painting evolved, the snake slowly changed form and became an eel — something that belonged naturally in the watery world the dreamer was creating.
The dreamer rests to the sound of the sea from a conch shell, while her braids move with the currents and the ocean creatures drift through the dream of Turtle Island.

Sabine and I took our sunfish sailboats to Cracker Peas the other day to meet the hubbies and grab lunch. Then we sailed back to our respective homes, where I washed "Lizzy" down and good and left her to dry at the dock. She's a great boat with a great history, and pretty beautiful sails IMHO. A real sweetheart! This boat was a contestant in the Sunfish World Championships in Nassau in 2009 which is the reason for the beautiful yellow, blue and black colors as well as the island motif which is a trademark of the Bahamas. She’s been owned by two friends of mine, and once a honeybee colony was discovered in her cockpit when the cover was removed. Her name is Lizzy due to a gecko that hitched a ride on the boat during a Hope Town sailing race. So, now you know the whole story. Original is available, contact Kim for pricing.
