JUNE METTS HURSTON - BLOG - EMAIL

 
 

My name is June Metts Hurston.  I have been married for 45 years to my husband, John, and we live in Opelika, Alabama.  My daughter (Audra) and son (Charles) both live in Atlanta, Georgia.  I also have two wonderful grandsons, Troy and Walt.  

I am retired from office jobs with the local school district.  During my retirement I have enjoyed gardening in my yard where I can cultivate my love for flowers.  Art has always been an interest of mine.  In 2006, at the age of 59 I took a beginner’s class in oil painting from artist Joanne Williams Walker, who paints beautiful still-life paintings. Joanne has been a wonderful inspiration to me.  I have also participated in workshops from artists: Gary Bodner, Guido Frick, and Qiang Huang. I continue to take lessons from Ronald Bayens.

Hopefully creating daily paintings will inspire me to paint more often and continue to improve.
