From the Vault: Candelabra at Highlander Mountain House, North Carolina

In March 2022, I was invited to a residency at Highlander Mountain House in North Carolina  each day, I would travel around the historic bed and breakfast and paint

Over the course of the pandemic, I traveled the country visiting grand homes, magical gardens and sitting with fabulous people while painting their portraits. I painted fruits and flowers and everything from the spectacular to the mundane. It’s all rather special and entirely significant in a world that is entirely out of our control. 

I’ve held onto these paintings on paper, keeping them in archive boxes until this very moment. Each one, entirely unique, capturing an unprecedented moment in time, depicted through the experience of an artist.
