A native child of Georgia, Delores grew up in beautiful McIntosh County. She is married to Randall and is a proud mother of two daughters. Rochella and Aundrea, who together have blessed her with 8 "grands."

Artistically multi-talented, Delores is first known for her lovely seashell creations which have not only won awards, but also have been featured in different art galleries.

Not content with just one artistic accomplishment, Delores, challenged and encouraged by another MAA member, local artist Patty Skipper, decided to try her hand at painting on canvas. Under the tutelage of local art instructor, Lynda Strean, Delores developed and honed another talent.

Painting on canvas and on ceramics are not mutually exclusive endeavors. One activity being the subset of the other. However, first Delores must produce the ceramic pieces, which unlike her other products are perfectly made.

So that her artistic life does not become too tedious, Delores acquired yet another skill-sweet grass basket weaving. Her teacher of this expressive mode was none other than the well-known Sapelo Island resident, Yvonne Grovner.

Delores' natural ability in the art of weaving is obvious when you inspect her sweet grass baskets. They are all flawless! Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue awarded her a certificate for completing the Georgia Council for the Arts Apprenticeship Program. The Georgia Council for the Arts' goal is the preservation of our State's folk art culture.

Numerous individuals have inspired Delores along her artistic journey. One in particular has been Orena Hyers who told her she should nurture and develop her desire to create by using her hands together with her imagination.

However, Delores' primary muse has always been Matthew 25:15 "And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straitway took his journey."
