Art Visions Gallery and Studio was formed by a group of 13 artists to share artistic ideas and visions and to be active participants in the local art community. The Gallery provides a unique venue for these artists to show and sell their work, as well as provide a place for the artists to paint and to conduct classes. We are looking forward to our eleventh year. If you are in the area stop in to browse, watch the artists at work or just chat. We are the only gallery at Smith Mountain Lake, VA

Welcome Our New Member - Denise Swayne
My entire life I have enjoyed drawing and painting. Then along came the love of gardening and a fascination with Botany, I received my certificate in Botanical Art and Illustration from The Brookside School of Botanical Art in 2010. Before that I trained as a Master Gardener in Maryland and have been involved in Federated Garden Clubs for 20 plus years. Growing, arranging, drawing and painting plants, fruits and vegetables are pure joy for me. I am always excited to learn new techniques and gather interesting information. Most of my work is in watercolor, but I do use colored pencils and graphite. Commissions are welcome.
