artist's statement:
Being raised in the mountains of North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee, I grew from a child who enjoyed all that the mountains
had to offer from swinging off of huge grapevines to sliding down waterfalls. But as I became an adult, I also began to appreciate
the beauty of God's magnificent creation of which I was so much a part of. In the late 80's I discovered that I had also been given
the talent of painting, and with much joy I began to put on canvas what had been in my heart for so many years. It is with a heart
of thanksgiving that I present to you paintings of my mountain home. I could never do complete justice to the beauty of these
mountains, but maybe in some small way you can step into each painting yourself and feel just a touch of the beauty that God
created.
