I am a middle school teacher in Pitt Co, and have recently discovered my love of watercolor! For this piece, the island of Ocracoke serves as the neck of the banjo. Beloved landmarks on the island are scattered throughout. Route 12 serves as 2 of the strings on the instrument. In addition, pun inspired band names make the set list complete!

I am a local artist graduating from Ocracoke School this year. I am heading off to Ringling College of Art & Design this coming fall. I wanted to do this piece because I wanted to produce a piece of work that represents Ocracoke. I wanted it to represent what Ocracoke is and how deeply the community is connected that I saw. I worked in the key elements that I feel is the core of Ocracoke. Music, Community, Fun, Celebrations and of course Ocracats.
