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.

Thirty Something

In Valle Crucis, in the mountains of Western North Carolina, between two old barns, there is an ancient Dodge truck--a 30-something model.  It is multiple colors and has bushes growing out of its bed.  I imagine that there are stories here, if we only knew.  This is a watercolor painting, 18.5x33--price $850.
