This series is painted for women who sailed on tail ships in the 17 and 18th century. I have been enamored with their bravery and unending knowledge and courage. This series is dedicated to them. The most heroic story is the one of the wife of a captain, who would strap herself and her child to the bottom of the ships masts, so they would not blow over into the sea.

Generally only captains were allowed to bring family members in voyages. This was a tangible reminder of the privileges that a sea captain had over the crew.

When I was eight, our school went to a field trip to Strawbery Banke. I fell in love with it then, the gardens, the crowded turn of the century houses. It was such a beautiful escape. Now I live close by and I paint such an amazing part of Portsmouth.Strawbery Banke is the oldest neighborhood in New Hampshire to be settled by Europeans, and the earliest neighborhood remaining in the present-day city of Portsmouth. It features more than 37 restored buildings built between the 17th and 19th centuries in the Colonial, Georgian and Federal style architectures. The darkest colored house is the oldest house in the group. I have a group of historical areas that I am painting, or known as historical paintings. Look out for more!
