About the Artist
Wellon is a self-taught artist who stumbled upon the creative world of painting. Her artwork is represented in galleries throughout the Southeast, featured in multiple design publications, and collected in the homes of patrons worldwide.
Wellon has a background in English and French (Auburn and Wake Forest Universities), and she taught for several years in the high school and university setting, developing service learning programs in the nonprofit and community-based settings.
Outside of the studio, Wellon serves as the US Director for Mwana Villages, a ministry empowering the vulnerable in the Republic of Congo.
