Beach Music Collection

There’s no question that I love 1960s pop culture. I’m currently watching Palm Royale, wearing my House of MBR caftans and listening to music we North Carolinians call “Beach Music.”

I learned to dance the Carolina Shag when I took cotillion in middle school and perfected it even further when I dragged my sorority sister to lessons in college. It all paid off when my son and I won the “Best Carolina Shag” award at his recent cotillion ball.

Shag dancing is also in my genes. My mom used to drive down to Myrtle Beach, SC, in the early 1960s and dance the night away at the open-air pavilions on the strand - just like the 1989 film “Shag” with Bridget Fonda and Phoebe Cates.

The music is happy, light and fun, which was my goal to capture in this collection of original paintings.
