Dolly is a North Carolina-based fine artist specializing in watercolor paintings that capture the beauty of wildlife, beloved pets, people, and marine architecture. With a deep appreciation for storytelling through art, she also explores illustration, digital art, graphic design, and photography. Inspired by the world around her, Dolly infuses her work with rich detail and emotion, bringing each subject to life with her distinctive style. In addition to her visual artistry, she is also a writer, crafting young adult fiction that weaves magic into the everyday.

When she’s not creating, Dolly enjoys spending time at the North Carolina coast with her husband, Matt, their son, Colt, and their yellow Labrador, Patch. Whether exploring maritime history, soaking in the coastal scenery, or simply enjoying the rhythm of the tides from the boat, the coast serves as both a retreat and an endless source of inspiration for her work.
