Whitney Wares

Whitney creates functional fine art and conversation pieces drawn for your lifestyle. Whitney grew up on a lake in the Adirondack Mountains where the waterfront and wildlife provided an abundance of natural material. Whitney graduated Cum Laude with a major in Art History and a minor in Studio Art. She interned in the conservation studio at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, Italy and in the Exhibitions department at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. She spent a year abroad in Italy traveling every weekend to explore a country rich in artistic history and technique.  Having traveled to 20+ countries, it was the American landscapes & wildlife that ultimately returned Whitney to her roots. Whitney’s drawings have been selected several consecutive years for the Newport Art Museum’s Juried Members Exhibition. Her artwork is detailed and cheerful, with a hint of humor. She draws inspiration from the historic, nautical, and coastal character of New England where she resides in Newport, RI. Shop at https://www.whitneywares.com/ Support the show
