About the artist

Connie hails from western Pennsylvania, where she raised her children to love the outdoors and hiking.  Most summers found them making the trek to the Whites for their family vacation. When her husband retired in the spring of 2019, they decided to make the jump and landed in Jackson, New Hampshire.

As a self-taught artist, Connie enjoys painting in both traditional and whimsical form, utilizing bright colors and granulating textures in her artistry. Her process incorporates her love for the White Mountains - you can often find her on the trails, taking photos that will become the inspiration for her original watercolors.

A trip to Whidbey Island, WA, in 2019 found her wandering into Raven Rocks Art Studio where the artist/owner shared with Connie the importance of having fun with her art.  That chance meeting changed her outlook on her work, and encouraged her to develop a unique style. Connie’s art is quirky and delightful. They are snapshots in time and place, reflecting the simple beauty of the Whites. Today, her art can be found in homes and businesses crisscrossing the country - from New England to California; and Florida to the Pacific Northwest; as well as Great Britain.

When she isn’t creating colorful watercolors in her studio, Connie enjoys hiking, hanging out at her favorite coffee spot, raising and assisting in training service dogs for ACTS, and spending time her children.
