BELINDA

lifesize terracotta bust

private collection in Fort Worth, Texas

Jimmie Anne Stephens: I was raised in Memphis,Tn. in the Old Southern Tradition which naturally led to my being placed in such ladylike activities as painting and drawing classes as early as the age of seven. My very first drawing instruction was taught by two elderly sisters in an old very large Victorian style home close to Downtown Memphis. I loved it from the start! I have learned from some of the most talented artists both in private lessons as well as in the academic class rooms. I have to say that my very favorite classes have been with people like the two sisters who started me on my artistic journey. At the present I live in Fort Worth, Texas with my husband and little dog Sassyfras. I am a full time artist doing paintings in oils and acylics as well as sculptures in terracotta and bronze. My paintings consist of western subject matter, landscapes, florals, seascapes, portraits of people and pets, wild life, angels, fairytales, and just about anything that strikes my fancy, or anything that a client might like to have done. I enjoy teaching painting and hope to find some students in Fort Worth.
