Opelika, AL
I have been drawing and painting the people and places of the American South since my childhood. Although I earned two art degrees, I really consider myself self-taught, since my style of painting was neither taught nor encouraged in school. In addition to being a practicing artist, I taught art for over 40 years. Now that I no longer teach, I have more time to work on my art. Most of my paintings are in transparent watercolor, although I do work in other media. My favorite subjects have been people whom I find interesting, whether because of their physical appearance, their life story, or both. My favorite artists are the 17th century Dutch Masters Rembrandt and Vermeer.
