Description
Secluded home is a colorful, impasto painting of a peaceful setting in the woods. I am especially pleased with the complicated brushwork in this piece. The painting is on stretched canvas and is un-framed.
When I was young I spent much of my time in the woods behind our house and down by a nearby creek. I have always been somewhat reclusive and never much of a people person, so I am drawn to scenes like this.
I love places that have intense beauty but seem to be in a separate, peaceful world where everything is beautiful and serene. There is so much conflict in the world that I seek to present what is positive and uplifting in my work. I think the exuberant colors and flowing brushwork emphasize this point of view.
I personally think my paintings drip with emotion, but it is a visual emotion that is communicated through paint. I am always thrilled when people say they want to touch my paintings! I think they are picking up on this visual emotion whether they realize it or not.

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.
