Instruction will focus on teaching students to see and copy value and intensity changes in color.

Pendleton was born and raised in Louisiana and attended college in Texas.  After a technical career in the computer industry, she relocated to Orlando and started a family.  She began to study painting and drawing in 2004 at the Crealde School of Art in Winter Park.  Beginning in 2011 with the goal of becoming a landscape painter, she started traveling to take plein air workshops in Florida, South Carolina and Maine.  Through these experiences, she developed interest and skills in the use of both oil paint and pastels.  She joined Studio 807 in Orlando in 2013 and began teaching beginning oil painting classes at the Crealde School of Art in 2017.  Her work has been accepted in juried exhibits at Crealde, the Daytona Art League, and the SOBO Gallery in Winter Garden.  She has participated in other exhibits at Leu Gardens, the Mt. Dora Art Association, and the Casselberry Art House.  She was the featured artist in the Mt. Dora Paint Out in 2018.  

ARTIST STATEMENT:

When I started learning to paint, I was drawn to the work of the early American Impressionists; especially those in the New England area.  I love the way they captured light, atmosphere, and dimension in their landscape and marine paintings, and I strive to do the same.  Living in Florida, I am surrounded by natural beauty which I am inspired to represent with my favorite mediums, oil paint and pastel.  When the opportunity to teach introductory oil painting classes came my way, it struck a chord within me.  It is deeply fulfilling to pass along information that can help others find their way through this very complex endeavor.  My greatest satisfaction in painting has come from sharing what I have learned.
