Art has forever been a part of my life. My art is a unique blend of my life, the people in my life and the natural ability that I have been blessed with. I am an educator with a Bachleor’s Degree in secondary education and am employed with Limestone County Board of Education. Thru the years I have enjoyed many different forms of art that include dance, sculpture, and painting. My favorite form of art is oil painting. I find it very relaxing and somewhat therapeutic; the process of applying paint and creating images that is my interpretation of the things I see. Not unlike many artists, I do favor certain subject matter. My favorites include: Portraits, landscapes and still life’s. My art can be found in private collections as far away as Russia and Australia, and from California to Georgia.
I cannot boast of a long and impressive list of art academies that I have attended. However, I diligently engross myself with personal study and I have attended several independent workshops from artists in Alabama, Arizona and Florida. God has blessed me in many ways. Ever since I was very young, I have relished every opportunity to nurture the talents I have been blessed with.
I guess you could say that much of my work is a reflection of my values. I sincerely enjoy bringing pleasure to my family and friends through art. Growing up on a family farm in Killingsworth Cove, a community near Gurley, Alabama, provided me with an enriched childhood where family values and hard work were the staples of everyday life. My parents are Bobby and Dorothy Baugh Osmer. I have two sisters and one brother. I am married to Jon and we have two sons, Ben & Josh. My family supports and encourages me in my art and the opportunities it presents to touch the lives of others.
