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.
