About the Author & Artist.
Arlene Wright-Correll (1935- ___),
popular American award winning
Artist, published author, columnist,
& art instructor, at the age of 68,
decided to pick up her paint brushes
again after 54 years and paint, in
mostly gouache watercolors and
pastels, the flowers, herbs and
fruits that grow at Home Farm
Herbery in Munfordville, KY.
Though she paints in all mediums,
she likes to use the Gouache paints,
which are a heavy, opaque watercolor
paint, sometimes called body color,
producing a less wet-appearing and
more strongly colored picture than
ordinary watercolor. Occasionally,
she will paint something from her
world travels especially of
Scotland ,
Ireland , or the
Mediterranean . She is fond of those old memories. She is
the resident artist and workshop
instructor at Avalon Stained Glass
Studio. She is a member of the
Kentucky
Water Color Society, Pastel Society of New
Mexico ,
a Certified EBSQ
artist and a
nominated member to The
Museum of
Women ’s Art in
Washington , DC

Her original paintings are sold
quite quickly and one can always try
