Ahh! Summer Begins at the Hilton Head Island Farmers Market

Fresh Veggies at the Hilton Head Island Farmers Market
Summer is finally here and its my time to recharge and spend long stretches of time painting without interruptions. I paint for pleasure but will also will be working on developing collections with my partner and sister Dona.
I found a trip to the Hilton Head Farmers market on Friday mornings to be filled with inspiration. I love all the fresh organic vegetables. I am drawn to their shapes, colors and textures. It is also nice to see the farmers proud of what they produced. Each week there are different kinds of produce to choose from. I purchase with an eye for both painting and eating:)  There is such a positive energy going there and I always seem to meet new and interesting people and pick up some growing and cooking tips.
This is my friend Pamela Ovens who started the Hilton Head Farmers Market this past spring. She does such and great job and loves the how positive and affirming it is for the community. Hilton Head is going local!

  1. Visiting a local farmer market is such an intimate experience - where you not only have access to local produce, but an opportunity to connect to the people who took the time and energy to plant the seeds,nurture and harvest the produce, then bring it with pride to the market.
