ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hi everyone! My name is Cara Leverette, and I'm a watercolor and acrylic artist located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. I love living along the beautiful South Carolina coast, but Aiken will always hold a special place in my heart. I'm so thankful for the wonderful customers there who continue to support my art. My artwork focuses maninly on custom watercolor creations. I am best known for my house portraits and "Love Stories", but am always happy to collaborate with you on something special.

BACKGROUND

I've been drawing since I was a young girl and have been blessed to inherit my
parents’ artistic talent. My dad, an engineer and woodworker, and my mom, a talented
designer/ seamstress, passed on a love for creating. My younger brother, David, is a prominent "golf" artist in Charlotte. While growing up, we both loved to spend time drawing and sketching. What started as a hobby has developed into a passion for both of us. 

I knew from an early age that I wanted to be a mom, teacher, and artist. I feel so blessed to have done all three. Whether I am in the classroom or at home, I can usually be found holding a pencil or a paintbrush. 

Although I have been painting most of my life, watercolor has become one of my favorite mediums. My desire as an artist is to use the artistic gifts God has given me to bring joy and hope to the people the Lord puts in my path. When I'm not painting, you can find me spending time with my husband, our two sons, our daughters-in-law, and our sweet dog, Marley.
