Alice Ball McCutcheon grew up in Dyer, Tennessee thinking she had no artistic talent at all. She laughingly states, “I’m still not sure I do, but I have learned some techniques that work. I watched the artists, Gary Jenkins, Bob Ross, and other on the educational TV channel. They made it look so easy; I thought there really might be hope for me.”

     In the 80’s she took a watercolor class at Bethel College in McKenzie taught by Tim Pafford and has studied with him since that time. Her work is primarily in watercolor mediums (transparent, opaque, gouache, and casein) and Prisma pencils.

     Alice classifies art as fun and work and “good therapy.” “Sometimes my painting is what keeps me sane.” She says.
Her work includes primarily landscapes, seascapes, flowers, birds, and Indians.
