Description

Breakers at Pawleys Island is a colorful, textural view of the ocean at Pawleys Island in South Carolina. We have been vacationing there for a number of years now and I have done many paintings that were inspired by this beautiful resort. I am especially pleased with the dreamy evening light effect on the water in this piece. I based these beach paintings on photographs that I took.

For this one I took a number of shots from the beach and then I waded in the water with slides on. I got some good shots while the shoes tried to float upward. In the end, the shot from the shore was the one I decided to use. This painting was professionally framed in a beautiful molded, gold stained wooden frame which perfectly offsets the colors. The painting was sold to a great patron in Bridgewater, New Jersey. Prints on paper or canvas of various sizes and greeting cards are still available.

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.
