Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
Natural Rhythm is an exuberant, expressive look at the flow of colors in wildflowers. The colors are like musical notes. My husband, Clyde Kessler, is a well-known naturalist in the New River Valley and he has taught me a lot about nature, especially about various bird and butterfly species.
I love to work with complicated patterns of texture and color and I see these patterns in natural surroundings that inspire me to paint them. I am especially drawn to intense red/green combinations.
Years ago at a competition when May Stevens was introduced to me she said, "Oh, the red green painter!" I love to work with vibrant complementary colors but I tend to work with red and green more than the others.

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 originals and prints 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.
