Capturing Light, Landscapes, and Life in Watercolor

Ev Wesson, the artist behind Blue Heron Art Studio in Henrico, North Carolina, is a watercolor and mixed media painter whose work celebrates the quiet beauty of nature and nostalgic Southern landscapes. Her current series includes serene lake scenes inspired by Lake Gaston and detailed paintings of historic grist mills found throughout North Carolina and Virginia. Each piece captures light, memory, and atmosphere, inviting viewers into a world of reflection and natural beauty.

Through careful selection and collaboration, her designs bring authenticity, warmth, and a nature-inspired aesthetic to every licensed product.
