Artist Biography & Exhibitions
I have been painting and exhibiting since the late 1980’s mostly in the Southeast although I have been in exhibitions in NYC through World Fine Art Gallery, Ari Gallery, and Abney Gallery. I am inspired by nature and the local beauty of this area, as well as the psychological processes that create this inspiration.
I was educated at the University of Tennessee (BS, MS, and PhD.) in Human Ecology. I began painting in the early 80’s as a watercolorist painting mostly nature, and rapidly moved into various mixed media, larger creations, and more abstraction in design. My work is mainly from self-exploration and experimentation with the mediums and from the passion of exploring color and textures.
