| About the Artist COMMERCIAL ART: I have an Associate Degree in Criminal Justice. While at South Georgia College, I was elected to Who’s Who Among Junior Colleges. However, my third year of college was at Georgia Southern University majoring in Education-with a 4.0 GPA. I passed the Commercial Art National Occupational Competency (NOCTI) written test with a Georgia’s record-breaking score of 99. I accepted an involuntary retirement when all full-time Georgia educators were eliminated from the Department of Corrections. FINE ART: In the early ‘70s, my husband and I owned and operated a part-time ceramic shop. I taught all aspects of the craft and my classes included children as well as adults. Then I began Tole Painting and acrylic canvas classes. The canvas work grew into class/client demand to justify a home studio in 1992. Until that time, I was basically self-taught. But, in March 1992, I was certified in the charter acrylic instructors class for Brenda Harris at Alexander Art Headquarters. Since that time I’ve been a certified instructor for Koh-I-nor/Grumbacher, Silver Level (KCA) and Col-Art. TELEVISION: While holding down a full time position and giving art classes at home, in the spring of 1993, I began an 18-month television series for WUBI, Channel 34, Baxley, Georgia. My 30-minute show aired each Saturday at 2:30 PM. A total of thirty-eight shows were taped. Now that I’m retired, I’d love to pursue this aspect again. I have studied with other nationally known artists such as Joan Darflinger, Este Rayle, and Fred Wetzel. Within our ARTIST TEAM group, there are many well-qualified instructors and dedicated artists from whom I’ve learned artists’ insider tips but also the value of friendship. “United we stand; divided we fall.”
