Dot Herron was surprised on her 80th birthday with the whole neighborhood throwing a big party for her.
The center of her life is Bill, her husband of 61 years. They have raised six children and seen them through college. They seem to be inseparable as they are frequently seen biking or enjoying beach time with friends.
A talented artist, she said she had always painted in oil colors until moving to the beach 17 years ago. Her work can be seen on FineArtAmerica.
“The oils seemed too heavy for the softness of our southern landscapes. I switched to watercolors with the help of Betty Bee.”
She is a member of the Back Porch Painters, The Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild and South Carolina Watercolor Society.
She has been active on Briarcliffe Town Council in the small South Carolina beach community, as mayor pro tem and as mayor.
Congratulations on achieving such an important milestone!
