Lita Gatlin
Lita Gatlin, a native of Georgia, now living in Charlotte, North Carolina, began drawing in pencil and ink at an early age and transitioned into the oil medium after college. In 2002, after a career in banking, the excitement of painting took over as she pursued art as a full-time career. “The beauty and colors of the natural world around us provide the most inspiration for my painting,” says Lita. “I am always amazed at the colors in nature and how they constantly change with daylight and atmosphere.” She strives to show the effect of these changes on the mood and temperature of each painting. Lita received a B.B.A. from the University of Georgia and has taken various classes from Andy Braitman of Charlotte over the years. Each year she chooses one or two artists whom she admires to attend their workshop, including Ken Auster, Roger Dale Brown, Perry Austin, Greg LaRock and Larry Moore. Lita’s stunning works are exhibited frequently and may be found in private and corporate collections throughout the country. www.litagatlin.com
