Description

Summer Evening Near Ingles Mountain is an oil pastel of a field scene in Radford, Virginia near Ingles Mountain. This mountain was named after the Ingles family.

Mary Draper Ingles walked 850 miles to her home in 1775 after being captured by Indians and her story The Long Way Home was performed in Radford for many years. It was designated the Virginia Historic Outdoor Drama of the Commonwealth.

Oftentimes in this region there is a pink glow in the sky that I like to capture in my landscapes. It is usually only there for a half an hour or so at dusk.

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.
