Artist Bio:  Beverly Kies is an accomplishments pastel artist. At the age of 5, Beverly's mother (a watercolor and oil painter), sent her to the Atlanta School of Art. This early passion eventually led to a degree in Art Education from The Ohio State University. Beverly's paintings represent a medley of work, celebrating animals, places and people. Pastels have always been Beverly's chosen medium, where she enjoys a certain playfulness in her renditions, using vivid colors and expressive strokes. This passion has led Beverly to teach her medium, where she shared with her students techniques which she has found successful. To view Beverly's work, go to http://www.beverlykies.com.
