The High Country Art Center, promotes, supports, and inspires all ages within the Blue Ridge area in North Carolina to open their creative side. We cultivate opportunities that elevate the recognition of aspiring artists, advocate economic equality, and celebrate art throughout our diverse community.

Gallery:

We have art for collectors or anyone wanting a unique work of art, in our Art Gallery. Our art gallery is a space to exhibit and sell art, acting as a crucial link between visual artists and the public, collectors, and institutions, nurturing careers through curated shows, promotion, and sales, often taking a commission on works sold, and can range from commercial businesses to non-profit spaces, varying in focus from contemporary to traditional art. We manage exhibitions, support artists' development, and aim to build the artists' presence in the art world. We have multiple artists we represent: Click on each name to see their own website or social media.

Art is my breath, my passion, within it you see me. I have always enjoyed art as a venue for my ideas and my dreams. I want to share my passion for art with others who enjoy the beauty of interpretation.

My art and creation is generally done through paintings as I enjoy the expression through oil and acrylic paints used to express my emotions. I also enjoy sketching with pencil and charcoal. I have trained in Paris with the best professors, completed my Master of Fine Arts, shown my work in galleries around the world and won awards that distinguish my work. I currently teach studio art, art history, computers and humanities at a local college. Allowing me to share my passion of art with the future art lovers.

Painting is a magical experience that I have enjoyed since childhood. Looking at the world through an artist eyes gives one the ability to take from it what you see and create what you feel. My intention is to create artwork that will allow the viewer to feel the world around them, see the expression of the artist and develop an emotion for what one is viewing.

Art evokes emotion and expression; within it, you will see the artist.

I began Let's Be Artsy in 2018,following both a dream and a need in the High Country. Jan of 2026 I have opened a full Art Center! High Country Art Center, where I have a full Art Gallery, Paint/sip and healing art! See my website HERE!
