Description

Radford Flower Garden is a close-up of part of a garden in Radford, VA. The owners must use a lot of annuals as the garden is different every year. I am always on the look-out for red/green color combinations. I am quite the colorist but I like red/green color systems better than any others. Years ago at a competition when I was introduced to the famous artist May Stevens, she exclaimed, Oh, the red-green painter! I won a purchase award at the show. I have always been drawn to complicated color and texture patterns which is why it is no surprise that I especially like the Impressionists. I am quite eclectic when it comes to all the arts but colorist painters top my list of visual artists that I admire. I am especially fond of Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh. I am often compared to those two artists which I consider to be a great compliment.The colors and textures in this painting are quite intense and it is framed in a solid wood molded frame.

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 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-one states,Washington D.C., Canada, Germany, Russia, England, Switzerland, 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!
