We're delighted to welcome Devan Sweeney to our family of artists.
If you visit the gallery, you'll recognize Devan immediately because she sits right near the stairs and is our official greeter - her giant smile and sweet disposition make her a perfect natural for this role.
Devan's been with Huff Harrington for about two years. She came to us right after college. She's an Auburn grad and was the captain of the women's swim and dive team - a role that requires responsibility, maturity and leadership. She's also one of seven children, so when we interviewed her, we knew she'd be one who could thrive under daily chaos. We joke that Devan was probably thrown into a pool before she could walk and was handed a paintbrush not long afterwards.
She's a gifted painter who currently focuses on her love of athletics and sports: golf, tennis and pickleball, to name a few. We love her unique perspective of the shadows on the court and course - shadows that create interesting visual lines and shapes, depending on where the subject is positioned. She loves color, too, so her canvases are bright and energetic.
Her work is light-hearted and painted with the passion of an artist who loves athletics as much as the canvas and paintbrush. Swing by the gallery and check these out for yourself - or as a perfect, last-minute gift to tuck under the tree.
And be sure to say hi to our sunny Devan!
