Unwelcome Visitors Painting

I am originally from Woodstock, New York and have always been creating something. From the early years of finger-painting on rocks in the creek bed behind my grandmother’s house to present. After a long hiatus from painting, I have returned to it originally as a cold weather hobby, but after creating the first acrylic painting, I was immediately hooked. I started looking at everything around me in detail, noticing colors, shapes, light, and shadows. I enjoy using bright colors in my work, and enjoy painting a variety of subject matter, as well as using varied techniques. Depending on my mood, I can go from painting flowers and animals, to abstract figures and flow art. I consider myself to be an emerging artist, as I am just starting to display my work. To date, I have displayed my art throughout the Cary and Raleigh area with shows for First Friday at Alter Ego, Bottega, United Arts Council of Raleigh, Visual Art Exchange, and Litmus Gallery. In addition to several group shows around the Cary Area. I also display artwork with Local Color Gallery located inside 311 Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina. I am a member of the Fine Arts League of Cary, Visual Art Exchange, and the Durham Artists Guild. I have work in private collections in North Carolina, Tennessee, New York, Massachusetts, Alabama, and California. I also enjoy practicing hot yoga, riding my Tennessee Walking Horses, and traveling with my family.
