Wilson’s award winning paintings and etchings are inspired by the landscape of Pittman Center and the surrounding mountains. Growing up in Knoxville, she spent a great deal of time with her grandparents who were avid gardeners. By capturing the subtle details of color and nature’s cycle of beauty and decay she is able to share with the viewer this appreciation for nature given to her by family. Wilson has received numerous awards for her work and is a member of the American Society of Botanical Artists, Southern Highland Craft Guild, Foothills Guild and Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community.

This art exhibit is just one of the great Downtown Sevierville events!
