Cashiers, NC
I am a modern expressionist. I am an intensely intuitive painter. I feel the subject that may or may not appear as my eyes see. My work becomes what the hand, the mind, and the heart respond to in that time-standing-still moment. Even though I learned traditional oil painting techniques, and I can paint realistically from the old masters style of training, I have learned by teaching myself a more abstracted form of painting to get the contemporary effect of color verses texture. I am looking for the cutting edge of paint technique for me, ever evolving to a higher standard. Usually the viewer can find something in the subject matter to relate to in my work. I was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, and raised two sons there with my restaurateur husband. We now live in Cashiers, North Carolina where I maintain a teaching studio. I also have a public studio in Asheville’s historic River Arts District. The Ella Richardson Fine Art Gallery represents me in Charleston, SC.
