Tortola, British Virgin Islands, is my home, one that I share with Edmund G. Morgan (writer/builder at www.bvidesignbuild.com). After having escaped to the British Virgin Islands from the bustle of the Northeast, I decided to create this web site to keep in touch with my family and friends as well as to share the 'electronic drawings' I've done recently and as far back as 2003.

Upon arriving in Tortola in 1993, Ed and I designed and built (quite literally) Villa Carousella. I designed, Ed built. The name of Villa Carousella was inspired by the octagonal shape of the kitchen and dining room: a carousel. This was the first of three buildings. The villa is located in Belmont Estate and opens up into a panorama of sea, palm groves, and beautiful beaches.

You are invited to peruse my impressions and pictures of the villa and the British Virgin Islands. Look through my electronic paintings so that you may see what I see around me every day. If I have been successful, you will look into the life and beauty of the West Indies.

If you are thinking about coming here or would like more information about my paintings or about the BVI, I can be reached at VillaCarousella@surfbvi.com.
