Now a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, Potter is a nationally recognized still-life painter. She was raised just outside of Boston, MA and went to work in New York with a bachelor of fine arts degree as a fashion illustrator. Before long, she was married and living in Okinawa where she had two sons and little time for art.  Finally, back in New York and a single mom, she decided to commit to a life of serious painting. ”My life became very difficult,” she remembers.  Still, she managed to paint and study at the Art Students League and her canvases got better as finished pieces mounted up.  She exhibited her work at an outdoor fair in Greenwich Village and to, her shock, sold a number of paintings for $100 a piece. Then, out of the blue, a major New York gallery, Grand Central Gallery, picked her up off the street.  Suddenly she had a career.
