Revalation Vineyards is thrilled to feature artist Chee Kludt Ricketts in our tasting rooms for March and April. Chee enjoys exhibiting her watercolors and acrylics whenever possible. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions at This Century Gallery in Williamsburg, Blue Skies Gallery in Hampton, and the Purcell Gallery of the Louisa Arts Center. She is a Signature Member of the Virginia Watercolor Society, where she has received four awards. Locally, she is a member of the Firnew Farm Artists’ Circle in Hood and the Art Guild of Greene.

Chee’s paintings hang in numerous public and private collections nationwide, including the International Storytelling Festival Visitors’ Center in Jonesboro, TN, Augusta Health System, Rockingham Regional Medical Center, UVA Health System, Ferguson Enterprises Headquarters in Newport News, the City of Hampton, and Thomas Nelson Community College, Hampton, VA.

A native of Camden, South Carolina, and a graduate of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA, Chee earned credit in additional classes and graduate courses at The College of William and Mary, Old Dominion University, Christopher Newport University, La Salle University, and Thomas Nelson Community College, and has studied with nationally recognized artists. She feels, however, that practice is the best teacher; therefore, she devotes as much time as possible to working in her Greene County studio, or en plein air on the hills surrounding her farm.
