  The Chosen One

features local Ohio Artists Ms. Reddy, Library Media Specialist here at TCHS is one of the resident Jones building artist.  She was always one of those artsy types but only took art classes after she started teaching in Virginia. Her first art class was Drawing from Life at Northern Virginia Community College. After moving to Ohio she took a series of painting classes at BGSU.

If you ask her how she paints the way she sdoes she will tell you that anyone can do it. "I paint methodically and slowly. There are many steps to what I do that I learned at a class with Master Painter Patrick Betaudier. It is a technique practiced by painters of the early renaissance in Europe.

She gets to her studio only sparingly but loves it when she can spend a day painting. Here are some photos of her work. She is clearly not a photographer as the picts are awful but you should get an idea of her art.
