Throughout my entire childhood I took art classes. In high school I was in AP Art and Art History. I was not serious about art until recently when we bought a beach house. I enjoy painting on my weekends down in Morehead City on a rainy or cool day.  I have a pretty cool studio in a sunroom that inspires me.  It is therapy for me and I enjoy every bit of it. I have always painted with acrylic paint. Lately I have tried watercolor and enjoy that as well. My commissioned pieces will be done in acrylic. In high school I remember painting a canvas every night. I also grew up in Morehead and would spend many evenings on the beach just painting. My concentration for AP Art was sunsets.  I now enjoy; sunsets, landscapes, florals, animals, oysters, coral, boats, abstracts and lilly inspired designs. My favorite artist as a child was Georgia O'Keeffe.  I regret not taking concentration classes in portraits.  My prices are fairly reasonable as I do not consider myself as talented as my fellow artistic friends.  Therefore, I am humbled and ever so grateful when asked to paint a commissioned piece for a client.  Most of my canvases for commissioned art are quality & gallery wrapped with a wood backing.  Below are some tips for affordable framing.
