About the Artist
Never too late to paint
I painted whimsical angels for fundraisers, visited art museums, and filled my walls with works from other artists: but never seriously pursued my own painting until fifteen years ago. When a new friend, Susan Woodson, suggested we start an art gallery in Raleigh near NC State's campus, I paused. Had I owned a business before? No. So, with twenty five core artists and guests, the Roundabout Art Collective invigorated the Raleigh arts' community for eight years.
Thanks to instructors like Heather Sink, Kathie Odom and Trisha Adams, and Tim Horn; my techniques have evolved. I learn so much from Eric Rhodes' PleinAir Podcast and have hauled my easel to Bermuda, San Miquel de Allende, Tuscany, rustic farms and lovely beaches. Painting plein air is the perfect combination of painting and gardening, another hobby of mine.
Currently, my paintings may be found on Instagram, Facebook or at Mattie Davis Gallery in Beaufort. A portion of current sales will be donated to our beautiful mountain communities.
Even though life is so full with family, friends, faith and fun; every chance I get I slip away to my studio or outdoors to paint. Hope the joy I feel translates to the canvas and brings you great joy in your home or office!

Take care!
