Description

Wildflowers by a Blue Ridge Sunset is a colorful look at the intense blue ridge. I am always fascinated by the changing colors in the mountains and never tire of painting different versions. My husband, Clyde Kessler, is a well known naturalist in The New River Valley and spends much of his time researching these beautiful ranges for birds and butterflies.

His discovery of the endangered Mitchel Satyr butterfly in 1998 is considered to be one of the most important wildlife finds in the second half of the twentieth century in Virginia. I have many fond memories of walking trails on these ridges with him and getting inspirations for paintings.

I taught in the Art Department of Radford University for a twenty years as Assistant professor. I taught Art Appreciation, Drawing, Oil Painting, Watercolor painting, Foundations, and served as Gallery Director for one year.I received many compliments on my course curriculum.

I enjoyed working with Art and Design students. My Art Appreciation course was hands-on and Oftentimes I had students that were not enrolled 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 originals and prints in thirty-two states, Canada, England,Germany, Russia, Switzerland, India, and Australia.
