"I experience a feast for the eyes in these beautiful locales, and this translates onto the canvas, a wide variety of subject matter...from flora and fauna to still lifes, landscapes, native people and architecture."
Suzanne Morgan Wilkins earned her B.A. and I.M.A. degrees in Art Education from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. She taught art in Charleston, Richland and Lexington county schools until 1991. During those years, it was her love of teaching talented and gifted workshops that prompted her to build "Holly Cove Studio" in 1993, adjacent to her home on Lake Murray in South Carolina.
At Holly Cove, she teaches various workshops and creates her own paintings. Suzanne paints in oils and acrylics, but prefers acrylics because this fast-drying, brilliant medium best suits her bold, expressive style.
She has also exhibited at various galleries and bistros in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, the Carribean and Costa Rica, where she has a 2nd home. It is here, and from her many international travels with her husband and two sons, that she draws much of her inspiration for her work.
