I just finished up a new collection of small figures and florals and happy to say, we have added them to the online shop. They are all on 2" gallery wrapped canvases and are wired to be hung! I can be shipped anywhere in the US or if you live in Charlotte, they are available to be picked up from my studio. For studio pick up, enter promo code "queencity" and we will contact you to make arrangements. Enjoy!

Spring In Beaufort
I have to say, I just got back from such a lovely trip to Beaufort NC and Craving Art Studio! My fantastic host Heather Sink was just as much of a pleasure to be with this year as she was last year! She is currently hosting a show of my works until the end of May and was so kind to host my three day "Exploring The Surface " workshop. I love doing workshops in Beaufort so much, we have agreed to do another one next year, once we have dates, we will update everyone! Beaufort is such a beautiful town, full of great people, food and amazing views! For those who don't know, it's actually the third-oldest town in North Carolina, it's a coastal town located in an area referred to as the "inner-banks" and it hosts several fun festivals through out the year. I just lucked out to be there for the 2017 Beaufort Wine and Food Festival this year!
Upcoming Workshops
Excited to share some news! I have secured the dates with Binders Art Supplies in Atlanta (the Buckhead locacation) for my "Exploring The Surface Workshop". The workshop will be February 7-9, 2018 and registration will begin here on my website in the next few weeks, so stay tuned! I am also planning on an October Workshop here in Charlotte, we will have those dates finalized by early May.

Winter Beginners Workshop - Charlotte
Excited to announce I will be hosting a beginners-level workshop here in Charlotte on February 8 - 10, 2017 at Myers Park Baptist Church. This workshop will cover some basic fundamentals of painting including Color Theory and Paint Application: Brush and Palette Knife, but you don't have to be a beginner to take this class, you can just want to "brush up" on the basics!

Tutorial - Mixing Colors
We recorded this short video during a color mixing demonstration at my recent Charlotte Workshop. I walked my students through mixing several colors, staring with a pile of my mixed black, which is equal parts Burnt Sienna (Winsor Newton) and Ultramarine Blue. This palette of colors was used to create several paintings during the Workshop, and once they come off my dry racks, they will be available in my Studio Shop. Stay tuned!
Charlotte Workshop - Exploring The Surface: Painting The Still Life and Figure
Two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of teaching a workshop here in my hometown of Charlotte, NC to a very talented group of students. We held the workshop in the education building at Myers Park Baptist Church, which was a fantastic space to paint in and a great group of people to work with. One of the highlights of the workshop was day two when several students brought in stunning Hydrangeas in a variety of colors from their own gardens to paint from! I truly enjoyed watching everyone get to know each other and become friends as well as turn to one another for advise during the process. I look forward to my next workshop here in Charlotte coming this fall!
Please note that our Atlanta workshop has had a date change and will now be held Oct 24-26, 2016. See all current workshops here.
