Throughout the month of December, South Walton’s Coastal Branch Library will host works of art by Didon Comer, a native of New Orleans who moved to Seagrove Beach in 1979.

Comer’s interests and skills are varied and include acrylic painting, photography, clothes design, furniture design, pottery, and sculpting. She is a self-taught artist who began painting in 1993 and has become well-known in South Walton’s art community.

Didon has attended many workshops throughout the years, and she has studied with Santa Rosa Beach artists Susan Lucas and Donnelle Clark. Twice every year, she attends the Springmaid workshops in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Didon was once named artist of the year by Otto’s Gallery in Ellijay, Georgia, and her art has been featured in southeastern venues such as Ceruleans Gallery, Lynn Field Reddoch’s Gallery, Collaborations Gallery in Santa Rosa Beach and “The Gallery” in Tryon, North Carolina. She was also chosen to participate in ARTSQUEST and the EASTERN SHORE ART SHOW in Fairhope, Alabama. Most recently, she was one of the featured artists at The Hidden Lantern during the STRETCH OF SEA and the BACK TO NATURE shows.

Didon currently lives in old Seagrove Beach, where she paints from a studio in her home on the gulf.
