Shout Out North Carolina Interview


 Torrie Smiley

This year has started out so exciting!  The Cain show opening was fabulous!  The Guild of Charlotte Artists Winter Show painting, Orchid Solo, was a fun painting with loads of color.  The show opening was a great evening.  And now this~, I was honored to have been asked to share my story with the online magazine "Shout Out North Carolina".  

You can read the article HERE.

I have managed to complete a few small paintings during all the fabulous adventures.  You can find them in my Etsy store or at my website, TorrieSmiley.com

There was also time to help move children to new homes and celebrate the boys 10th birthday.  I can't wait for all the fun coming next!

Thank you for stopping by~

Me, with the framed painting

The Winter show opening with the Guild of Charlotte Artists was Thursday, February 6th, at Christ Episcopal Church in Charlotte, NC.  There were over 80 paintings to view.  The show was well attended and so much fun!  The show will run through March - stop in the Good News Gallery to see the show and purchase a favorite!

Now on to the next adventure.  I have some new smaller paintings coming.  I will be uploading the new painting "Oranges and Cranberries" into the stores online tomorrow.   

There is an interview coming out soon for "Shoutout North Carolina". I will post a link when it goes live.

Thank you for stopping by~
