About Me

I grew up on a farm in the mountains of Southwest Virginia, where I developed a closeness to nature. At Emory and Henry College I studied art with the late George Chavatel. I became a high school English and history teacher, married and had a family. I continued to paint and exhibit. In 2008 I retired from teaching and turned to painting full time. I paint in a detailed, realistic style, both oil and watercolor. Most of my work are landscapes, but I also do animals and flowers.

"Silver Run Falls"

Silver Run Falls is in Jackson County in Western North Carolina, just off Highway 130 near Cashiers.  It is a short walk from the highway to the falls, where a small stream pours over a rock cliff into a pool below.  This scene is from early October, where there was just beginning to be a bit of color in the trees.  This is an oil painting, 16x24.  Price is $750.  (email:  mkm28152@yahoo.com)
