| About me and my artwork: |
| I am basically a self-taught artist. I have many art courses and workshops under my brush however, and I study extensively on
my own. I have had classes and workshops from such artists as Tom Lynch, Claudia Nice,Bob Ross and Jerry Yarnell. I am an avid gardener
and I love nature. I count it a privilege to capture in a small way what God has so wondrously created. My interest in art has been
since early childhood. Doing crafts are fun but I find my true fulfillment in painting. My realistic style in art shows my desire
to capture the out of doors I so richly love. Landscapes, flowers, animals and birds are my favorite subjects. I paint in a variety
of mediums: graphite, colored pencil, pen and ink with my favorites being pastels, watercolors and acrylics. I taught Kindergarten
in the mornings and Art in the afternoons while living in Knoxville and since moving to the Chattanooga area 15 years ago, I taught
Art at the Central Baptist School for the Arts for 10 years with several of my art students pursuing a career in the arts. I also
enjoy the role of wife, mother of two and now grandmother to four wonderful children. They also inspire me to get my brushes wet!
I have done many commissions for friends and family and I find it rewarding to do something for that special place someone may have
in their home. I will be quick to give all the honor and glory to the Lord for the ability to do what I do. I consider it a precious
gift from Him and what I do with it is my gift back to Him. |
