Boots Quimby

I am a born naturalist and love to be outside in the natural world. For me, painting is a way to immerse myself in nature by closely observing my subject to represent it as I see it.  This process opens me to the subject so that it becomes a part of me and a part of me is present in each painting.  I am inspired by where I live in rural North Carolina and the outdoor spaces I visit in the world. I would describe my painting style as stylized realism, and what I most strive for is to capture the beauty of the world around me. I primarily paint with acrylics on canvas and up-cycled old NC barn wood.
