I’m often asked….so do you do commissions? Why yes..I do! I am currently working on a painting of someone’s home up here in the High Country to commemorate a purchase of their home and then I’ll be working on a six canvas painting of the sunset that they look at every day! If you’re looking for something unique for your mountain home give me a call I work in oil painting and can do any size and can come to your home to check out the space and make sure the painting will fit or you can just come in and talk with me and I’ll be happy to create whatever you want! 336-403-4858, or stop by the High Country art center I’m here every day Wednesday through Saturday! Located in the beautiful West Jefferson!

Why do you need art?

Art is the soul of your living space. It sets the emotional tone, grounds room color palettes, and turns bare walls into personalized, inviting narratives. Beyond aesthetics, visual stimulation enhances your mental well-being by reducing stress, sparking creativity, and providing a focal point for your imagination to escape!

Join us to purchase art made by local artists or to create your own! YOU need art!
