Instructor Bio

Gwen is a renowned international professional Artist and Art Coach who empowers artists to recognize their unique artistic style, establish a marketing strategy, develop a strong success mindset while creating a life they love.

Gwen does this by relating her own personal story of self-discovery, helping Artists discard the limiting beliefs placed by outside influences. This allows each Artist to reach the core essence of their unlimited creativity.

Gwen’s work was selected to show with His Royal Highness Prince Phillip in the famous Fermoy Art Gallery Kings Lynn England. She has shown in the Catherine Lorillard Wolf Art Club in New York, had one woman shows in Hawaii, England, Washington D.C., Taos, NM, Charleston, S.C. and Florida.

The National Security Agency commissioned Gwen to do two large paintings for their office in Fort Meade, Maryland. Her work is in many corporate and private collections.

As a child, Gwen was allowed to express her creative vision while drawing and painting on the white wallpaper canvas at her family’s eastern Tennessee farmhouse. For years, her mother repapered the hallway – often weekly – to give her daughter space to display her gift, later regretting the loss of those early works.
