"Art has been a part of my life since childhood. I loved watching my Dad draw figures and I studied nature to teach myself to paint in my style of realism with a softened impressionistic feel. I draw inspiration from the old masters as well as contemporary artists to grow and develop my body of work. Art enriches my days and gives me the opportunity to express in my own way much joy, beauty of life and appreciation for God's blessings. Whether in my studio in Mountain City Tennessee or en plein air in the beautiful Appalachian mountains and beyond, I always create "Paintings from the Heart ." ~Temple

' I am so excited and very grateful to be featured in Charleston Style & Design Magazine with a feature story in the Summer 2025 Edition and ads and features in the Spring Art Edition, Fall and Winter Editions and the 2026 Spring Art Edition, Having my art in the Atlanta Style and Design Spring Art Edition ,
to have a Cover and Feature in Voice Magazine for Women and Tapestry Journal ,
Amazing to be featured in "The Story Behind the Painting" in the Fall AAPL Grapevine Newsletter and 'The Artist in their Own Words' debut video for AAPL.
I've participated in shows and a plein air event in 2025/26 and was able to present a special award and much more.
Being represented by Alexandre Fleuren's Interiors in Charleston SC and being the March 2026 featured artist at Designafi Designer Showroom is surreal and the Designafi ad in Charleston Magazine is amazing.
Representation at Griffin Art Gallery and always at Johnson County Center for the Arts is a blessing.
I appreciate everyone who supports and follows my art journey."
