  Biography of Priscilla Cunningham

Priscilla has had a keen interest in many kinds of art since she was encouraged and complimented by one of her favorite elementary school teachers.   

She took her first oil painting class in the late nineteen sixties in Indianapolis, IN, then followed that with private instruction with pastel in the early eighties. Since returning to Memphis in 1989, Priscilla has studied techniques of oil painting, watercolor, drawing, acrylics, and sculpting from several instructors in the Memphis area. She studied "vibrant color" techniques for over three years at the Art Department in Memphis. Priscilla has also studied under renowned southwestern artist Ann Templeton, and went on location in Alaska to study Jim Ellsberry's practical application of outdoor painting with a limited palette. Most recently she has taken Plein Air workshops from instructors John Torina and Robert Malone.

She has exhibited at a number of competitive events throughout the midsouth and has won awards at several of these venues. She just recently had a one woman show titled "Serendipity" at the Crescent Club, Memphis, TN. Her show consisted of over 40 works in Oils and Acrylics.

Her work can now been seen at Fountain Art Gallery, 5101 Sanderlin Ave., Palladio International Antique Market, 2169 Central Ave., and The Crescent Club, 6075 Poplar Ave., Memphis, TN.
