Artist Spotlight: Boots Quimby

Boots Quimby considers everything she has done in life a creative endeavor.  From teaching high school and college to raising children and designing experiments during her doctoral work and as a cell biologist, Boots explored her creativity. In 2016 she picked up a paintbrush and decided it was time to paint, something Boots had wanted to do since childhood.  The artist inside finally had the courage to express herself.  She self-taught and considers every painting an experiment, working and reworking it until she gets to were she wants to go. This has taught Boots perseverance, patience and self-forgiveness.  She is inspired by life in rural North Carolina and the outdoor spaces she visits in the world.
