A Break in the Clouds
"A Break in the Clouds" is a colorful view of Rock Castle Gorge which is near Rocky Knob where my husband, Clyde Kessler, does much of his research on birds and butterflies. He is working on putting out a CD on Butterflies of the Blue Ridge mountains. This painting has the most complex system of clouds of all of my landscapes. I am especially pleased with the interaction of warm and cool colors throughout the work.

In my artwork, I seek to celebrate life: the simple and spectacular images all around us. Art patrons admire my intense use of color and texture to enhance daily life and communicate my emotional reaction to beauty. I consider my style to be unique to me but I have been influenced by the work of Paul Cezanne, Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Pierre Bonnard and Jan Vermeer. My paintings were in two group shows on Broadway and my biography can be found in the original Marquis Who's Who in America, Who's Who of American Women, and Who's Who in the World. I am currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Radford University where I have taught for eighteen years. I primarily create large impasto oil paintings, but I also work in pastels. I have paintings in private collections in fourteen states. My art has been exhibited throughout the USA, and I have won local, national & international awards in both mediums, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank Webb, and Daniel Greene
