The biggest inspiration behind my hand-painted leather earrings—and the paintings I’ve been creating lately—is nature, God’s gift of friendship, and time spent on the water. 🌿🌊

A couple of years ago, we traveled with an incredible group of friends to Fripp Island and ended one evening with a sunset boat ride. Friends snapped photos as the sky melted into the water, and those moments have stayed with me ever since. They brought so much joy and peace—reminding me how healing the water can be and how generous God is with the beauty He gives us.

This piece is inspired by those memories, the friendships, and the breathtaking views God places before us when we slow down enough to notice.

There’s a little Easter egg hidden in this painting—something I plan to include in every painting going forward. 👀

Off Season Things to Do

You can rent bicycles, golf carts, as well as kayaks, fishing boats and paddleboards.

Sweater Weather

As the weather cools during fall and winter on Fripp Island, enjoy leisurely strolls along the beach.  It's the perfect time to don your favorite sweater or hoodie and take in the quiet beauty of the island.  October and November bring warm, sunny days with highs in the 70's.  During the off-season, between December and February, brisk days in the 60's call for hot toddies on the deck, wrapped up in your favorite blanket.  

Bird Watching

The quieter months on Fripp Island provide a great opportunity to see dozens of shorebirds.

Part of the Beaufort Barrier Islands Important Bird Area (IBA), Fripp and surrounding Islands are home to over 182 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents while others are winter visitors or migrating through as part of the Atlantic Flyway. The six barrier islands start at the southern tip of the Saint Helena Sound and extend south to the entrance of Port Royal Sound. Along with it being a part of the Beaufort IBA, the South Carolina legislature named Fripp Island a Bird and Animal Sanctuary.

Fripp Island is home to hundreds of species of birds: Great Egrets, Oyster Catchers, Black-bellied Plover, Sandpipers, Pelicans, Painted Buntings, Common Tern, Great Blue Herons, White Ibis, Dunlins, Marsh Hen and many more. From our beautiful beaches to our salt marshes, tidal creeks and rivers, Fripp Island is a wonderland for birdwatches and nature-lovers alike.
Bring your binoculars and see how many different species you can find.
