Little River, SC
I have been creating artwork since I could hold a crayon. Painting is my passion, and I have had a long career as a designer as well. Currently I am a member of the National Association of Women Artists (NAWA), and am treasurer of the South Carolina NAWA chapter. I am also a member of the Art League of Hilton Head, and the Waccamaw Arts and Crafts Guild. The goal of my work is to take you on a journey to places I have been and share my story. Through the use of color, shadow, light and motion, I strive to take the viewer on a visual journey. I aim to provide an experience where you can place yourself within the painting, and be carried way for a moment of time. I often begin my work in the field, with watercolor or pencil sketches, supplemented by my own photography. In the studio I meld the images together in collages or sketches, and then embark on a final image. The sketches, photos, and memories of the place joins together in the final piece.
