About the Artist of the Year: Iris Rudeseal has been interested in art since grade school. She began pursuing this interest in 1989 when she found Marie Adams, an oil painting teacher. She took several years of lessons from Marie and joined the Brownwood Art Association where she took an active part in the meetings and learned other techniques from the artists who demonstrated their talents at the monthly meetings. During this time, Iris was also working as a Certified Public Accountant and making time for her art whenever she could.
