Jim and Linda’s Excellent Adventure to Oman

Wednesday, July 29, 2026 @ 11:15 am - 1:00 pm

Program 

Explore the many exotic locations in the country of Oman with Percell as she takes you on a once in a lifetime adventure with her husband Jim.  From the amazing city of Oman to the mountain regions with glorious views, the gold souk, and the stunning blue waters near the Strait of Hormuz.  Most interesting of all, was the 3 weeks stay at a Middle Eastern mansion on an Estate with a zoo, organic garden, and our own private villa.

About The Speaker

In 2010, after almost 35 years as a dental hygienist, Percell left private practice and became a full-time educator.She was instrumental in assisting the formation of the Dental Hygiene Program at Houston Community College, Coleman Campus. Her role was in development in both didactic and clinical areas. While teaching full-time at HCC, she challenged herself to work toward a master’s degree in Health Sciences with a concentration on Education. After achieving this accomplishment in 2012, she took a less stressful role as adjunct faculty in the Dental Hygiene Department at Lone Star College in Kingwood.

After retiring in 2016, she now devotes time to her art focusing on nature. She works with two disparate mediums: graphite and clay. Using graphite, most of her drawings are of animals. She especially love producing portraits of pets (Pet Portraits by Percell). Her studies with clay feature subjects in nature (Natures Art of Texas). She hand builds or sculpts myriad animals and the natural objects that catch her eye.
