Nedra Smith
As a student at George Washington University my chosen field was design but my heart belonged to the fine art classes. After my career as a graphic designer and art director I finally found the time to learn and concentrate on painting.
My first serious foray into oil painting was when I spent six weeks in China and Tibet studying figure painting with a friend and accomplished artist who teaches at Sichuan University . . . , and I was hooked!
I have now studied with Kevin Machperson for 6 1/2 enriching years, years filled with painting experiences around the world. I am enchanted with the challenges of painting more than ever.
I am so grateful to artist like Kevin Machperson, Scott Christensen, William Woodward, Anthony Ryder, Robert Liberace, Henry Wingate, Maggi Siner and Melinda Morrison - all so willing to share their knowledge and love of art. Without their help my own journey into painting would not have been possible.
With guidance and patience on their part, and a lot of work on my part, I am pleased with the skills I am developing in plein-air, landscape, portrait, figurative and still life . . . they are all wonderful venues.
I share with you the fruits of my journey to date.
