She has signature status in both the Southern Watercolor Society and the Tennessee Watercolor Society. Connie believes each artist has their own personal shapes and forms just waiting to be discovered.

Her passion in teaching watercolor is to help the students free up their minds to any preconceived ideas and methods, have an  adventure expressing their individuality and their creative spirit as well as eliminate any fear of the media...basically have fun!  Line, shape, color, texture, value, form and pattern will become part of your world. Connie’s workshops fill up rapidly with returning students.  She brings out the artist in even the most tentative beginner and helps the more advanced student to experience a higher level of accomplishment
