About
a reflection of my life...

History
Vue Fine Art & Design

I started designing this site from scratch in 2001 to promote fine art, design, and education.   When I started teaching in 2002, it became an instructional tool inside my classrooms too.   It's a constant work in progress.

      The Featured Video Trailer & Background Loop (on large screens)   begins and ends with a symbolic Classical style academy museum with the entablature supported by four caryatid-like winged lions becoming one with the sun and nature in a seasonal time-lapse of beautiful north central West Virginia.   Credits: The revolving sun (and sun audio) by NASA.   I created everything else.  


Inspirations
My Sunshine +

My inspirations: God, divine love, family, friends, and the Sun King: Richard [king] - [sun] Solberg.

This year, 2023, we've been married for 25 years!   See a few personal images of us, our son-in-law and daughter,  as well as our furbabies.

Philosophy
Light, Love, Life

This is a preview of my Philosopy page.   In Education, (the video I created above), the angelic figures, guided by "Light", "Love" and "Life" represent ideas, values and virtues, all learning in peaceful harmony.   I was inspired in so many ways I created a video.   Details of "Education" and many more artworks, mirror my own personal, professional, and creative philosophy

The School of Athens, fresco detail, 1509–1511, by Raphael at the Vatican Museums in Rome, Italy. (CC0 1.0)

This introductory course is a study of art of the Western world.   It explores the emergence of new forms and salient factors contributing to changes in art from prehistoric Europe to the contemporary West.   The works of art are presented within their historical contexts.

Saint Jerome in His Study, engraving detail, c.1514, by Albrecht Durer, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. (CC0 1.0)

This introductory course focuses on the traditions of drawing.   Space, form, value, proportion and composition are emphasized for the development of the beginning ability to receive and record forms on a two-dimensional surface.
