I am very excited about the opportunity to share the talent born in me. There is a constant drive to continue to learn and study to grow as an artist. I was surprised how vulnerable I felt the first time I had a show, but that was quickly overshadowed by excitement and humility when I saw my work evoke emotional reactions in people.I sincerely thank God for this incredible blessing; I celebrate the connections that I make with people and I am constantly left standing in awe at the magnificent world around me.” Beverly was raised in Nashville, Tennessee and now resides in Franklin, TN. As a child she was drawn to the beauty that surrounded her. Encouraged by her parents, she began drawing and painting.Her talent, and a strong desire to create, led her to a successful career in interior design. She continued to have a yearning to create beautiful paintings. In 2003 she took her first workshop to help her achieve this goal.Beverly has become a prolific artist. She has studied with the accomplished artist of The Cumberland Society of Painters, which includes Roger Dale Brown, Dawn Whitelaw, and Paula Frizbe; the Plein Air Painters of the Southeast; Quang Ho and Kenn Backhaus.

She loves to pack her paints and travel to other parts of our beautiful country, where she is inspired by the diversity and beauty at every turn in the road.Coupled with her love of the landscape is her love for animals.
