Winnie J. Ferguson

I have always loved gardens and flowers so it is not a surprise that many of my paintings focus on those subjects. Over the years I have moved to acrylic and oil paint for most of my work. The fast drying quality of acrylic allows me to move quickly into deep colors and textures I enjoy. Working in oil provides me with the use of glazes to increase depth in my work.
