In 1989 she began painting in watercolor. Fountain earned a BFA degree from Carnegie-Mellon University and has exhibited in galleries throughout New York State, including a solo show at the Allen Sheppard Gallery in New York City. Sheppard said that her work “combines lush, personal color with the elegance of classical compositions in a style that is distinctively contemporary…And the results are intensely magnetic and deeply satisfying paintings.”
