Guest Speaker: Roy Paschal

An artist who understands the importance of spirit and personal vision in the creation of art.

Roy Paschal was born in South Carolina and is particularly appreciative of its diversity and natural beauty. The wide expanses of a low country marsh to the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains provide never-ending inspiration. As a boy Roy roamed these natural habitats searching for glimpses of wildlife and enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. To this day you can find Roy knee deep in a salt water marsh or hiking along a trail with his sketch pad or paints in hand. He is always looking for that special spot to glimpse the magic of nature especially enjoying and painting the diminishing sights being overtaken by ever-growing and expanding development and population. Roy retired in June 2008 after a 30-year career as a forensic artist.
