Silvia Garcìa-Carreras Feenaghty is a native of the island of Cuba; has lived in Georgia since 1961 and in
Peachtree City since 1969. She started painting as a teenager, with training in Ottawa, Canada and later on in
her native Cuba, while acquiring her Home Economics degree, with a Minor in Arts. In the past, Silvia has
attended classes with many local and national artists but had set aside her brushes for a period of at least
20 years while her children were growing and later on while working in her husband's accounting firm.
Silvia took up her art again after retirement and has tuned her craft under the guidance of Tom Powers in
Newnan, Pam Hardin in Tyrone; Helen Hayes in Newnan and Marlin Adams in Barnesville, Georgia.
Many of Silvia's painting grace the homes of patrons throughout the USA, Europe, Mexico and South America.
