 Emilie has been an active volunteer with many organizations most notably the SD Historical Society , through political affiliations and recently with Wilmington  Newcomers Club. Four years ago she and her husband relocated to North Carolina and put down stakes in CB. As a native of So Cal and beach living, Emilie was exposed to, and gained an appreciation of, how the beauty and vibrancy of mural art contributes to a community. While maintaining a laid back beach vibe, Emilie is excited to participate in the enrichment of Pleasure Island with historical, geographical and in the depiction of current events through wall art.

 Celeste is originally from eastern North Carolina and has enjoyed many summers throughout her life coming to the Wilmington area. She retired to Carolina Beach in 2020 after over 25 years with UNC TEACCH Autism Program in Chapel Hill, NC.

J R and her husband moved to Carolina Beach in 2008 leaving the hustle and bustle of the Northeast (NY and NJ) to be near the sea. At that time all she needed was the internet and an airport, both of which she used often to manage a busy life as a Crisis Management consultant. 

Her love of art was left behind during most of her adult life, but Carolina Beach brought back the desire to reinforce the power of her right brain. The calmness of living in Carolina Beach as well as the charm of the town has been cathartic over the years.  

The creation of the mural project celebrates both the history and beauty of Carolina Beach and the changes the murals have brought is impressive. J R is excited about being able to support the mural committee to further inspire people to enjoy the journey through and to our town.

   Nugget is a dynamic artist known for her talent, cherished for her convictions, and constantly on the verge of exploding with passion. When it comes to art she’s an unstoppable force. She’s making super bright and boisterously loud marks on this world as she paints her way through it. She believes that we have to build the world we want to live in.
