Adrienne Watts is an emerging visual artist who embarked on her artistic journey in Wilmington, NC, where she was an active member of the Wilmington Art Association and Art League of Leland. During this time, her works found representation in esteemed galleries such as New Elements Gallery, Sunset River Marketplace, and Water+Color Gallery. In 2022, she relocated to Sarasota, FL, where she continues to pursue her passion.

Prior to her artistic pursuits, Watts had a successful career in finance. Throughout her professional endeavors, she maintained her dedication to art. In 2018, Watts became a full-time artist, transitioning to acrylic painting and shifting her focus to larger non-objective abstract paintings. Though being primarily self-taught, she honed her skills and techniques through workshops and classes, as well as influential mentors.

Her work has been showcased in numerous solo and group exhibitions since her relocation to Sarasota, including notable venues such as the Art Center of Sarasota, ArtCenter Manatee, Art Ovation Hotel, Five Deuces Gallery (St. Petersburg), and Define Art Gallery. Notable exhibitions include her participation in the Florida Suncoast Watercolor Society, Women Contemporary Artists, Creative Liberties at Art Ovation Hotel and Fogartyville, which she curated herself.

Currently, she is immersed in a captivating project—a series of large-scale paintings that blend modern abstract expressionism with traditional weaving techniques.
