Influential Artist

1. Charles Schultz
I have always admired this artist even as a child. Each of his characters were unique
and individual. Everyone was able to relate to one of them. Charles Shultz was a great
influence on my life then and now. "Vote Snoopy for President"













2. Bev Doolittle
What an awesome artist! Bev is able to create detailed art and hide images into her
paintings with no flaws. Her in site into the past with images of the 1800 era are exact.
She is a fabulous female artist that everyone can admire.















3. Donna Lee Huff Bartholow
I have the honor of speaking with Donna several years ago. She is an amazing individual and we ended up chatting for several hours. She was very inspirational and her support to a fellow female artist that she never met was amazing. Although she struggles with poor health she still manages to create beautiful pieces of art.


















4. Anne Geddes
Who does not love those tiny babies with the cute outfits? I never realized until I had to do a research paper on her that she does not photoshop the images in. She has the outfits custom made with safety straps on the outfit so the babies do not fall of the ledges. The enviroment is very calm and quite and everything in the studio is ready for when the baby arrives. The baby is only in the studio setting for a short time. Anne also supports several organizations to protect children from abuse.

















5. My mother Jean Bryson and my Aunt Opel
Two of my favorite women in my life. Both of these women were wonderful artist and were very inspirational to my life. I have fond memories sitting at the dining room table creating all types of art during our visits to Kunkle, Ohio. My mother was also a wonderful seamstress that would make awesome holloween costumes that several people would rent. Although these women have passed I still have their inspiration and love of art instilled into me.
