Description
Dominion Skating Rink is one of a number of paintings and drawings that I did of this rink in Christiansburg, VA. The rink has been closed for many years now but when my son was growing up we spent many hours there with friends. We had a lot of fun at the rink and were very sorry to see it close. The colors on the floor are from the flashing colored lights that have become very popular at rinks.

My paintings have been seen throughout the United States in national, international, and group shows. I have won numerous awards, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank Webb, and Daniel Greene. My paintings were in two group shows on Broadway and my biography is included in The Original Marquis Who's Who in America.
I taught in the Art Department of Radford University for twenty years as Assistant professor. I taught Art Appreciation, Drawing, Oil Painting, Watercolor painting, Foundations, and served as Gallery Director for one year.
I enjoyed working with Art and Design students. My Art Appreciation course was hands-on and I received many compliments on my course curriculum. Oftentimes I had students that were not enrolled in the class ask me if they could sit in for a class. I have fond memories of those guest students! What a great compliment for me!
My best-selling print, "Reaching Out", was selected from over three million works of art on Fine Art America to be on the set of The Mindy Project and I appeared with my artwork on The Hour of Joy on FoxTV out of Roanoke on March 10th 2013.
I live to paint and it is important to me to find homes for all of my creations. I have artwork in thirty-two states,Washington D.C., Canada, Germany, Russia, England, India, Switzerland, and Australia.
I also have paintings in the collection of Hollywood actress Morgan Fairchild.

Kendall, thanks for entering my contest. Your painting reminds me of when I was a little girl in Miami and frequently went rollerskating. Once, I won a box of tootsie-rolls and spilled them all over the rink. Everyone had to help me pick them up, but they got to keep them. It was the only thing I ever lost and won at the same time. I like your work. Deb
