Hi! My name is Allie, and I create original watercolor and gouache artwork inspired by nature, travel, literature, architecture, and the everyday moments that capture my attention. I’m drawn to subjects that tell a story, whether it’s a quiet landscape, a vibrant bloom, a favorite place, or inspiration discovered through travel, photography, and everyday observation.
I have been painting for nearly a decade and have exhibited work in galleries and juried exhibitions throughout Georgia and Montana. While I began my artistic journey working primarily in oils, I now focus largely on watercolor and gouache, embracing their spontaneity, transparency, and expressive qualities.
Every piece is created in my home studio in Georgia. In addition to original paintings, I create hand-painted bookmarks, notecards, miniature works, and other small-format art designed to bring beauty to everyday life.
When I’m not painting, I work as the Director of Marketing for a law firm in Athens, Georgia. I live in Loganville with my youngest son, one of his friends, and our cat, Lydia.
Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I hope you find something that speaks to you.
