t an early age, Wil Cormier developed a great appreciation for the natural beauty of coastal Georgia and its people's heritage. Coastal Georgia has a chain of barrier islands that extend from the northern tip of Florida to the Savannah River. One island in particular, Sapelo, with its rich history that dates back to the days of French Occupation in the late 18th century. In historical order, Sapelo Island would later be owned by such prominent individuals as Thomas Spalding, Howard Coffin, and Richard J. Reynolds of RJ Reynolds Tobacco Company. Charles Lindbergh test flew his airplane from the Sapelo shores and several American Presidents have strolled it's beaches.

As an artist, Wil Cormier found a burning desire to create art that tells a story about the island's beauty and its people's unique way of life.
