Description

Love Gardens, Coimbra University, Portugal is a painting I did from a trip my mother and I took to Spain and Portugal years ago. This was my second trip to Spain. I went with a study group when I was in High School so I was so glad to go on a another trip to the Iberian Peninsula! I am reasonably fluent in Spanish and it was great to have a chance to converse with Spanish people again. This painting is of a special place for lovers. The plaques that the guide is talking about have love poems on them. I am especially proud of the strong value patterns and beautiful light effect in this painting. This painting is one of many of my award-winning works. The juror for this show was Frank Webb. He was extremely impressed with my ability to weave oil paint together to make the forms appear out of the brushwork.

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.
