Welcome to my website!
I am a self represented artist. As you will see from my bio, I have
been raised in a family of talented Interior Designers and have
found this is the way I prefer to show my paintings. I enjoy working
with clients with or without their decorator. I do not mind coming
to your home and helping you find the right piece of art for just
the right spot. I can paint commissions if necessary. This hands on
hospitality is rare in the art world.
For eight years, I have been very successful at having home shows
throughout the Southeast. I have had over 20 cocktail parties given
in my honor. The generous people who have opened their homes and
invited their friends have had very successful shows for me. I
appreciate their generosity and have met many collectors this way. I
have enjoyed continuing to help them and their friends for years to
come.
I graduated from Hollins College in 1980 with a Degree in Studio
Art. I moved to Philadelphia and sold my watercolors for 10 years on
the Main Line. I studied at The Finishing School in NY and worked
with decorators glazing their clients walls from 1985-1995, on jobs
from NYC to San Francisco, from Atlanta, GA. to Tampa, FL. In this
time period I was painting trompe l'oeil which led me into painting
oils on canvas. Since 1996, I have painted and sold over 500 oil
paintings. I am very prolific because this is my passion. I now live
on the marsh of the Ashley River, just South of Charleston, SC. and
paint mostly landscape scenes of the Low Country and surrounding
areas. I have participated in many fundraisers for nonprofit
organizations. I donate 5% of my sales at the end of the year to 5
different charities--- St. Jude's Hospital for Children, The Ronald
McDonald House in Charleston, The Low Country Children's Center,
Christian Children's Fund, and The Humane Society.
