ARTISTRY Vonnie Coleman obtained a BA from Davidson College studying both Studio Arts and Religion through a Staley Honor Full Scholarship. Thereafter, she taught classes in drawing, painting, printmaking, and digital specialization at the New Schoolhouse of Fine Art. While serving at the Copeland House Gallery and Yanchar Studio, she also offered classes in the framing arts including museum mounting, French cut and specialty mat boards, and hand-assembled fine picture frames.
COMMUNICATIONS From fine art she moved into communications and advertising where she grew from a copy writer and illustrator to a media buyer and Creative Director. She won a national MEADE Offset Print Design Award in Collateral Campaigning; numerous Gold and Silver Addy Awards for her work in radio and television; and has had her creative writing work published in Writer's Digest and other renown magazines. It was in the advertising world that she learned her heart was in telling cause-related marketing stories as well as with book design, illustration, and photography. In 2012 she went back to school and obtained certification in graphic technology and internet services technology. She went on to study Digital Arts, Media and interactive Web Design.
INTERIOR and EXTERIOR DECOR After creating a historic marketing display and providing her client with original artwork throughout the building, she was asked to redesign the entire suite of offices. This launched her into staging and decor with residential and commercial projects in Florida which emphasized bringing the outdoors in and the indoors out. Her work at Earthscapes Garden Rooms allowed her to combine her fascination with plants, water features, and space design to create outdoor rooms which impress.
