About whitney
Whitney attended Virginia Commonwealth University Art School, but feels her actual foundation for art is self-taught. Through honing her draftsmanship she has won many prestigious awards nationally and has been featured in International Artist magazine twice. In addition to having two pieces acquired by the Carilion Medical Center’s public collection, Whitney’s paintings are in many private collections worldwide.

It is evident that the natural wonders of the places Whitney has lived have inspired her work in river rocks and shells, and her exquisite way of communicating this through large-scale oil paintings is experiential.
In recent years, Whitney has found a new passion in figurative and portrait work, and the challenges they present. Painting the figure has opened up new intrigue for her, with the stories they tell and the moments in life they share. She now calls herself the two-easeled artist.
Whitney was fortunate to study under Stephen Quiller, John Lovett, and Patric Whelan. A few of her greatest influences are Norman Rockwell and Vermeer, and she is currently studying Andrew Tischler.
