Artist Statement

"My interest in art began when I was enrolled at Starkville High School.  With no access to formal classes, I was left with no way to further my art education until I attended Mississippi College for Women (now Mississippi University for Women), where I minored in Art.  From there I attended the Memphis Academy of Art, Delta State University, and Mississippi State University.  I have always enjoyed painting landscapes, florals and still lifes, and I have also enjoyed painting en plein aire.  The earliest piece in this show, Equestrian Drawing, was done in pencil in 1948 while I attended The W.  Later my husband and I traveled a lot, and I took advantage of different places to paint from photographs that I took while on the go.  The body of work in this show is truly a retrospective of my lifetime of painting."
