In March of 2014 the Women’s Council of the Gibbes Museum hosted Charlotte Moss for the Art of Design lecture and luncheon benefiting the museum. Ms Moss, author of A Visual Life: Scrapbooks, Collages, and Inspiration, sparks the senses to be present to see the beauty that surrounds us.

At the Gibbes invitation, I had the honor of documenting their inaugural speaker of the Distinguished Lecture Series. Leonard Lauder’s presentation of art from all perspectives grabbed me.

Gibbes Street Parties are sensory delights. Documenting everything from guests to culinary bites from Charleston’s top chefs, dancing in the street and live vignettes created by Willi Jones of Theater Marvelosa is visually a playground.

Once a week I spend an hour or two loving, feeding and mucking stalls of my four legged friends through a volunteer program for LEAP's barn care.
