Painting Chattanooga's Past

I have lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee for 14 years now. I have come to love its revitalization and passion for progress. However, I have become fascinated with the beautiful architectural structures that were part of Chattanooga’s past but are now being demolished. Like the beauty in a wrinkled face I find beauty in the rusty walls of an iron foundry, falling bricks of a delivery platform, and chipped paint of old homes. There is honor in their past. There are stories that these walls could tell. My oil paintings of these places help leave a trace of their existence. And some have stood the test of time.

I invite you to browse through my gallery and visit a few of Chattanooga’s historic sites which are now only seen here in paint.
