Local Artist of the month at Candlelight & Lamposts
Our first of several rotating artists is Sueretta Todd.
A brief bio of Sueretta:
“My husband and I moved to Rockwall five years ago. I’m fron Mt Vernon, TX. I’ve been painting for sixteen years since retiring from the Dallas Cowboys. I’ve taken many workshops which include Dalhart Windberg, Cecy Turner, Naomi Brotherton, Juanita Hamilton, Bob Rohm, Rusty Jones, Larry Black, Catherine Anderson, Cherry McCraw and Milton Zorn.
I do Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil and Mixed Media. When I go outside I get so inspired by subjects God has given me to paint. I love Florals, Landscapes and Seascapes with sailboats and night scenes.
The Hilton Bella Harbor commissioned me to do a large sailboat for their library and purchased another for a conference room. I’m presently in their gallery until the end of September. I’m also represented in the Texas Roast in Rockwall, the Montecello Gallery in Highland Park, Winnsboro Main Street Gallery and Sweetie Shop in Mt. Vernon. I presently have exhibits at libraries in Rowlett, Richardson and will be Artist of the Month in April at the Rockwall library.
I’ve won awards in both Watercolor and Oil. I’m a member of the Rockwall Art League, Artist Round Texas, Richardson Civic Art Society, Southwestern Watercolor Association and Mt. Pleasant Art Society.”
