Miss Addie was born in South Carolina but moved to North Carolina as a child. She has no formal art training but she says, "I've been drawing all my life to make myself happy." And her paintings and quilts all show happy people ... they are filled with the memories of children at play. She began painting more seriously in the 90's when her husband died and she was on her own. Her art has been shown in numerous regional community exhibits but she is beginning to attain national exposure. Her creations are original and unique. She says, "I don't like copying off of anything. I do paintings that I vision in my heart and mind. I do them my own way." A book on Miss Addie, her life and her art is now in the works and will soon be published.
