Painting is a creative outlet that I am so grateful for discovering. I moved to Beaufort eleven years ago from the Northern Neck of Virginia. Eight years ago, I started painting classes with Heather Sink at Craving Art Studio on a whim. Under Heather’s guidance and encouragement, I began to develop my style of realistic painting. I love concentrating on one object, and making it come to life on canvas. Whether I’m painting veggies, fruit, birds or flowers, the best part of the process for me is when all the little details come together at the end. I’ve always enjoyed creating, whether it be through cooking, needlework or crafts, but having discovered the pleasure of painting at this stage of the game is a gift!
