Description

Pied-billed Grebe is a delicate pen and ink drawing of this beautiful bird. I am especially pleased with the lyrical use of line in this work.

I have learned a lot of about birds from my husband, Clyde Kessler, who is a well-known naturalist in the New River Valley. He has given me many ideas for painting vistas from the beautiful Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding area.

His discovery of the endangered Mitchel Satyr butterfly in 1998 is considered to be one of the most important wildlife finds in the second half of the twentieth century in Virginia. I didn't know one bird from the other before I married him and now I am familiar with quite a number of different species and am considering using more wildlife in my work.

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 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. The interview can be viewed on her website, www.thehourofjoy.com, episode 5 Stardom.

I live to paint and it is important to me to find homes for all of my creations. I have originals and prints in twenty-one states, Canada, Germany, and Australia. I want to cover the world with my art.
