Description

The Lodge at Peaks of Otter is a beautiful resort where deers are practically as tame as pets. The lake has a placid, peaceful look and the trails are great hiking fun.

This painting has delicate, peaceful colors and a soft textural surface. It is on stretched canvas and is un-framed.

The last time we were there we took the bus up to the top of Sharp Top but we walked down which was a great experience. I love to look at the atmosphere in higher elevations and watch it change at different levels.

It is my opinion that cameras can't capture atmosphere. They indicate different types of weather but the print always seems to be lacking in the actually density and colors found in various hazes and shadows.

I can't capture these effects either since the colors are changing every few minutes but I try to capture different atmospheric effects and add my own interpretation to bring out as much beauty as possible.

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!
