Whitney's life is a collection of beautiful chapters, including a love story that began in high school and continues to flourish with her adoring husband and two daughters. Originally from South Carolina and raised in Georgia, the diverse experiences from these places have profoundly shaped both her identity and artistic expression.
Over the past 15 years, Whitney has explored various corners of the country, from Charlotte to Savannah, from Philadelphia to her current residence outside San Francisco. These moves have enriched her perspective on life and art. Living in California, surrounded by stunning landscapes, have inspired Whitney's deep connection to nature and sustainability, influencing both her artwork and her approach to life.
What sets Whitney's art apart is the fusion of her non-traditional background with an array of materials. Unconventionally blending acrylic and watercolor paints on un-stretched canvas, she incorporates hand-painted and handmade papers, adorned with delicate touches of gold and silver leaf. Each piece is finished with her signature touch—sewing machine stitches that impart depth, texture, and a sense of fluidity.
Through her sewn abstract art, Whitney seeks to create a captivating visual experience. Every brushstroke, paper choice, and stitch is meticulously woven to evoke emotions and transport viewers to a tranquil state of mind. Whitney invites you to explore her art and join her on this artistic journey inspired by nature, sustainability, and the beauty that surrounds us.
