A Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of Tennessee with a double major in both design and painting, Kit and her husband Scott just moved from a farm in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands to Fredericksburg, VA, so her foocus on all things country is changing to all things beach.

“I love the process of putting down what I see, of finding the poetry of place,” says Kit. “My favorite creations are those which tell a story, making the viewer want to study them and enjoy his/her own interpretation.”
