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 .
