Brother's Love
In rural East Tennessee where I grew up, my three brothers and two sisters and I spent many days combing the woods and exploring every single body of water within the vicinity of Brabson's Corner where we live even if it was only 4 inches deep. We spent hours on the banks of the Holston River, Flat Creek, Cherokee and Douglas Dams. We just about learned to fish before we could do anything else--it was my father's passion other than hunting.

Artist Statement
for Marlena B. Beal
for Marlena B. Beal
I began drawing before I could even write my name. One of the things I share most is the encouragement I received from my parents as a child. My parents could not afford art paper. My mother would save paper bags from the store and cut them into sheet size so I would have paper for my drawings. Whenever we visited friends or relatives, she carried those sheets of papers with her and a pencil. When we arrived she sat me in a corner where I would remain drawing to my heart's content. Over the years, I experimented with many mediums but I found pen and ink gave me the ability to evolve in my art and the most powerful medium to express my creations. I love what you can do with millions of lines to create an image.
