Self-taught artist Virginia Coyle is the Bay School Community Arts Center’s December Artist of the Month. The Mathews resident’s work is on display at the gallery on Main Street in Mathews.

Coyle’s paintings are inspired by her family, experiences, and nature, said a press release. Her favorite medium to work with is watercolor, because it is so unpredictable. 

Coyle loves to paint mermaids, items of local interest, children, folk art scenes, and sometimes something that’s just out of the ordinary, said the release. She also enjoys being creative by drawing, sewing, and participating in other forms of artistic projects and crafts.

Coyle’s display includes various paintings and Christmas decorations. In addition to being an accomplished artist, said the release, she is also an instructor at the Bay School.
