2-D Judge 

My mother Deloris Boyle is a retired portrait artist, and has been my teacher and mentor throughout my years of painting. Although I have drawn and painted all of my life, she was the one who encouraged me as a young woman to take it beyond the realm of “hobby”.  I have since completed over 500 commissioned portraits.

After many years of concentrating almost exclusively on portraits, I realized I needed to broaden my expression of art, and began painting the beautiful herons, egrets and other shore birds that live in the salt marsh low country I call home. From there I progressed to landscapes, figurative paintings and Christian spiritual paintings. All the while, I have stayed dedicated to my first love – painting people.
