My Story

I am a visual artist of outdoor space and a community ambassador for health & wellness. A North Carolina native, I have 35+ years of experience as a professional landscape designer of public spaces, private gardens, swimming pools and architectural features for outdoor living. I have traveled the world extensively studying parks, playgrounds and science museums throughout the USA. As a long time supporter and former Board member of the Community Boys & Girls Club, I am dedicated to creating unique opportunities for Hope, Health & Happiness for all kids, especially those living in the Northside Community of Wilmington.

 

My Vision

Five years ago I created a vision for a unique outdoor space which I’ve been sharing with residents, local businesses and civic leaders of New Hanover County. I’m receiving great feedback and guidance on how to make the Optimism Oasis, a world class holistic health & wellness facility, most beneficial to the community while honoring the Northside’s cultural heritage and history. As a result, we’ve now added to the vision a Northside Childcare Co-op, Northside STEAM MakerSpace plus the Northside Village, a Multi-Family, Mixed Use & Mixed Income Affordable Housing complex.

 

This concept has evolved into a holistic voice and vision of the people which will continue to evolve with your feedback and guidance. Please click on the link below to send me a personal email with your suggestions.
