I am a local artist located in Southport, North Carolina. I'm also a single parent to a wonderful very smart boy. In my spare time, I enjoy reading but my passion is to go for long walks on the beach with my son and our dog Odie. We like to watch the seabirds flying overhead or walking along the shoreline cackling as they search for food.
I started making these birds which are yard ornaments made from PVC for a couple of reasons. They really do add so much life and that personal touch to the yard, the deck, and/or the front porch.
Secondly, my son's school had an exhibition for a science project regarding the environment and how wildlife is affected. A bird shelter was there as part of the exhibition. I was touched by the way they took in injured sea birds and cared for them until they are able to be released. Some of the birds can't be released because their injury is too severe, so they are protected and fed for the remainder of the injured birds' lives. As an animal lover, my heart went out to these birds, and I visit them quite often just to see their progress and which birds remain at the shelter.
