Amanda, her husband Jim and two sons James (14) and William (11) recently moved to Sarasota for its beauty in beaches and arts! Originally from Massachusetts-the ocean has always been a true love. This is their first of hopefully many art experiences in Sarasota. This is dedicated to Amanda's grandfather who recently passed away in April and was a long time Sarasota resident and supporter of the local arts programs, Daniel J. Rose.

Ocean conservation is vitally important and we hope this painting reminds us of the beautiful marine life surrounding us here in wonderful Sarasota.
