Artist Statement: Delta Beach has a spirit about it that captures your heart and soul. This is the case whether you are a resident, cottage owner, renter or a frequent visitor. Delta has been a favorite place to relax, enjoy the beach, the lake, nature and all that comes with it: sunbathing, swimming, campfires, star gazing, fishing, hunting, boating and bird watching.

This exhibition is about my Delta experience from 1980 to 2010, before the great flood of 2011. My Delta experience really started as a child, I attended Camp Jubilee summer camp as a participant and later as a camp leader. As an adult, our family spent about a month each year at the family cottage #16 on the west beach. I grew to love the environment from the hot days of summer to the wild thunder storms. I especially enjoyed the time when our children were younger and now we are sharing the Delta experience with our grandchildren. I wish to celebrate my eightieth year by fulfilling my goal to create this exhibition.
