talents you are willing to share will be
welcomed. You need to think about
where you can contribute, because calls

The success of any organization depends

constantly on view.

art venue in the Lynchburg area.

Meet the Artist — Annette M. KinseY (ChenAuLt)
Above, Annette M. Kinsey. Right, Two of Annette’s Paintings
Roger Elliott, and art classes under teacher Wendy
Richardson in Appomattox County.
My discovery of art started in childhood through
my mother and her interest in painting. She and I
took instruction in the oil medium under John
Mogle, an artist and teacher in the Buckingham
County schools system. During my teenage years I
discovered watercolors and painted in this medium
for many years. I took the commercial art
curriculum at Central Virginia Community College
with instruction under teachers John Black and
I began experimenting with soft and oil pastels in
2004. My work developed under the influence of
teachers Christine Rooney and Ron Boehmer, two
Lynchburg artists, who are in national publications.
I value the techniques of my teachers, also those
of Hopper, Daubigny, Renoir, Corot and many other
impressionists artists.— Welcome to New Lynchburg Art Club Members!!
