Description

Orange Trumpet Flowers is a colorful, textural, flower study. I am especially pleased with the flowing motion in this painting. The surface is elevated and the brushwork is energetic.

I wasn't always fascinated by still lifes. When I was young I was not the least bit interested in drawing or painting objects. I could not see how anyone could call a collection of things "life". Now I understand that inanimate objects can be just there or they can be an intense visual experience. It is all up to the artist.

When I taught at Radford University I would often say to students that a good artist can make a trash can look good. One time a student went outside and made a great pastel drawing of a trash can! It was no longer a trash can but a work of art! The student understood what I was talking about.

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.
