Awesome Tower
The lighthouse looks
very, very tall to
prospective
climbers, especially
those who, like me,
"don't do heights. "Lloyd never did learn to
like heights, but
she
did learn that a
climb up the 214
steps to the top of
the lighthouse was
richly rewarded.
Seeing the beautiful
and ever-changing
landscape of Corolla
and Currituck Sound
from above was
exhilarating.

Keeper Originals: Watercolor Paintings and Prints was formed in 2003 after the artist, Lloyd Childers, left her lighthouse
keeping duties on the
Outer Banks and retired to Hampstead, NC, near Wilmington, to begin painting in earnest. After a career in State Government, she moved to Corolla on the Outer Banks as the lighthouse keeper for Currituck Beach Lighthouse and executive director of
Outer Banks Conservationists, Inc., the nonprofit group that restored the keepers' house, lighthouse and
lighthouse compound in Corolla. Having been a "keeper" for five years and hoping that her paintings would be "keepers" the name Keeper Originals seemed fitting. Lloyd enjoys the watercolor medium for her paintings, which she has professionally reproduced in art prints of various sizes and note cards. The art prints are handsomely matted to fit standard sized frames.
