Audrey McLeod has lived in the Lowcountry of South Carolina all of her life. In her early years she

lived in Charleston SC and could be found "making art" in various ways. When she was finishing high

school, she was accepted into an art school out of state, but decided to take business instead. She retired from the insurance industry after 30 years. During these working years she continued to paint, taking workshops and classes with many prominent artists in the Carolinas and Georgia. Her knowledge expanded with creativeness, skill and experience. Encouraged by many friends, clients and instructors she continues to pursue her art which has become a large part of her life.

Painting primarily in oils, her work can be found in businesses and homes throughout the southeast. Currently she shows her work at the Georgetown Art Gallery, Georgetown S C, Sunset River Market Place in Calabash NC, the Applewood Gallery in Pawleys Island SC and the Asheville Executive Center in Asheville NC. She has entered and received recognition in many art shows through the southeast.

"The inspiration for my art is from my past experiences and personal interests as well as my love for the world around us. The landscapes of our state are beautiful. The beaches and marshes of the coastal counties, the flowers and gardens of the Piedmont areas and the mountains in the upstate, to name a few, are endless subjects that show the beauty of nature God has given us here in South Carolina."
