I'm a southern girl through and through.  I was born in Jackson, Mississippi, and I have spent the remainder of my life living in the beautiful state of Tennessee.  I grew up and went to college in Nashville, obtained my law degree in Knoxville, and have lived in Memphis for more than a decade.  I guess it is only fair that I have a soft spot for big showy summer florals, rows of cotton, sweet tea, and southern hospitality.  Why...I declare, these paintings are a sight for sore eyes, if I do say so myself. ;)
