As a native of rural Hartford, Kentucky, I taught art in my home county’s public school district. Needing to better provide for my family, I sought administrative positions, and I served as district’s vocational school principal, and later as the high school’s assistant principal. Retiring from public education, I moved to Louisville, Kentucky where I served as the Jefferson Community College Prison Program Coordinator. In addition to working as coordinator, I taught Art History and Drawing. Hopefully, my former middle, high school, and college students would share that my focus was promoting their success. Now, here I am, retired and able to focus on “me”. Free from full time employment, I gladly address my enthusiasm for painting. I select subjects that I hope an observer might enjoy. Often we pass by the mundane: close ups of nature, a stairwell, the intricacies of an historic lamp post, etc. My goal is to bring those to the forefront and provide enjoyment through color.
