This leads to a deeper appreciation of the way the landscape sits below the horizon and the way shadows cast by sunlight bring out a building's special features. Since my girlhood on a farm I have seen fruits and vegetables as beautiful as well as life sustaining but now, as I work to paint them, I see their color, form and texture more intensely than before and have a deeper appreciation for their wonderful variety and beauty. I came to painting after an academic career in science and education and have had only informal art education. I have studied under Luana Luconi Winner at her studio in Raleigh and Chad Hughes at the Durham Arts Council and have attended many workshops and classes of other artists.
