Introduction My name is June Metts Hurston. I have been married for over 50 years to my husband, John. We live in Opelika, Alabama. My daughter and her husband (Audra & Kirk) live in Dunwoody, Georgia and a son (Charles Hurston) who lives in East Point, Georgia. I also have two wonderful grandsons, Troy and Walt. Art has always been an interest of mine. In 2006 at the age of 59 I took a beginner’s class in oil painting from artist Joanne Williams Walker, who paints beautiful still-life paintings. Joanne has been a wonderful inspiration to me. http://joannwilliamswalker.com/index.html I hope you will enjoy viewing my art. Please provide feedback and let me know if you have something you would like me to paint for you!
Interests I am retired from office jobs with the local school district. During my retirement I have enjoyed gardening in my yard where I can cultivate my love for flowers. I have also participated in workshops from the following artists: Gary Bodner, http://garybodner.com/Home_Page.html ; Guido Frick, http://www.guidofrick.com ; Qiang Huang, http://qiang-huang.blogspot.com; And continue to take lessons from Ronald Bayens, http://ronaldbayensportraits.com/fineartgallery.html
