Description

A Pair is a colorful study of two bartlett pears. I am especially pleased with the color contrast in this work and the sensuous surface. I love to work with complementary colors and patterns. The pears are positioned so that they seem to turn in on each other in a maze of lines and squares that take on a type of movement that I work hard to achieve in still life paintings.

I always try to energize everyday objects by the way I paint them. One of my favorite artists is Paul Cezanne and I especially like his still lifes. The compositions are perfect examples of thoughtful spacing and the colors sing out in every one of them.

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 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 twenty-four states, Canada, Germany, Russia, and Australia. I want to cover the world with my art!

I have over thirty years experience shipping my artwork with no returns - just compliments!
