One day as I was sitting with my mom I made the query that it seemed odd how distracted I was by the sea. She explained that it was in my blood. She shared with me that my grandmothers siblings were ship fitters from Newfoundland, and further that my great grandfathers sister on my fathers side married a Halsey. As it turns out I'm a direct descendent of Admiral William F, Halsey.
Maritime history runs through my veins and I express myself with oils on canvas.
