Beverly was a self taught artist until her family moved to Washington State she studied under Ron Lukas at the Artist Workshop in Seattle. Mr. Lukas was the prot�g� of the late Russian Impressionist Sergei Bongart. Bongart studied in Kiev, Russia with a pupil of Repin a Russian Master Dudley feels extremely fortunate to have studied with Lukas. He left Seattle in April, 1995 for a position with the Dream Team of Hollywood
Spielberg, Kastenberg, and Geffen.
Although portraits are her passion, Beverly Dudley is known through out many states as the Magnolia Belle from the south, because of her paintings of magnolias and of course her southern charm.
Before moving back to the south, Beverly lived and worked in the art oriented city of Bellevue, Washington. She taught individualized drawing and oil painting techniques at the Ilona Rittler School of Fine Arts, located on Main Street.
In 1961 her father framed her first pastel drawing. The desire to create and paint has been with her all her life. �When I�m painting� she says �the world is on hold� Impressionism is prominent in her works of art, also a touch of fantasy.
Dudley�s interest are in pencil, Charcoal drawings and her favorite oil. She believes we are all creative and if a person has the desire to paint, they probably can. She says ,We only compete with ourselves.
People often ask, How do you do it How long does it take � You can get the basics in a class, but this must be backed up with hours of study and practice. One wouldn�t think of becoming a concert pianist merely by attending classes. How long does it take�A LIFETIME�.
Dudley has been an illustrator for a wild animal clinic in Seattle, a nonprofit organization, established to nurture and treat wounded animals and birds of prey then releasing them back into the wild.
Her paintings are included in collections of major corporations such as NACO West�Bellevue, Washington Pine Lake Medical Center�Issaquah, Washington Pediatric Associates�Bellevue, Washington Hancock Bank�Ocean Springs, Mississippi Delta Blues Museum�Clarksdale, Mississippi Beverly did a drawing of Billy Gibbons, a member of the ZZ Top Band, when he was in Clarksdale, also a double portrait of Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker while living in Clarksdale, MS. The Old Boarding House Gallery�Magee Mississippi and others.
Dudley had the honor of painting an oil portrait of The First Lady of Mississippi, Mrs. Pat Fordice. The Life size portrait was displayed in the Governor�s Mansion in Jackson, MS, outside Mrs. Fordice�s office when her husband was governor. Dudley also painted the past Governor of Louisiana, Edwin Edwards, for his wife Candy, to be given as her first Christmas gift.
Beverly lives with her husband Ray amid the rich cultural heritage of art, theater, and music second to none, in Ruston, Louisiana .
�Living throughout the U. S. has been enriching but we are very glad be in Louisiana and make our home in Ruston.
The best part of being an artist, she said, is being commissioned to paint things you love painting, such as children�s toys, grandmas flower vase, your great aunts tea cups, etc. These things keep on giving as years go by. One of her favorite paintings is of a grandpas pipe and grandmas vase with flowers next to an open family bible. Such personal things and yet they can be shared by all as they are handed down generation after generation.
