Whitney has been an artist most of her life. She won her 1st art competition in the 4th grade (she still has the little ribbon), and is now collected around the world. She was born in 1967 in Maryland, but has also lived in New York, Missouri, Hawaii, and New Zealand. She now resides in Roanoke, Virginia.
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.

She is currently represented by LinDor Arts, The Little Gallery in Roanoke, VA and Stellers Gallery in Jacksonville, FL.

Connecting with people through the portrait process and getting to know them is a beautiful byproduct of creating a painting.
My goal with every portrait is to express the sitter's presence in life.
When I feel like the subject can walk out of the canvas, I know I am there.
Painting portraits in the traditional techniques of the masters feels a bit like traveling back in time, only taking with me a contemporary twist.
