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
. Ms. Wright-Correll is the creator and writer of Who’s
Who in Arts and Crafts©, a member of the
Kentucky Watercolor Society and a member of KAHT.

forward each and everyday to welcome the beauty of this
small planet.
