Brenda Nichols is an artist whose favorite subjects include North American wildlife with a focus on North Missouri flora & fauna. She works with mixed media, a base of acrylic with overlay of oil glazing. "From my earliest memories I've wanted to be an artist. When my parents would send me to my room (for discipline), I'd be in my own world of drawing and painting and creating. I never told them either." |
