He played the fiddle, carved wooden sculptures, and loved taming the wild birds. John taught that everything one does should be of quality and that education is the key to a successful life.
The artist graduated from both Bluefield Junior College and Radford University. She also completed further course study at Mount Vernon College, George Washington University, American University, and Northern Virginia Community College. She was a recipient of the McGraw-Hill National Educational Publications Award, given annually in recognition of the artist’s design of promotional materials for the NEA.
Brendler worked for fifteen years as an artist, calligrapher, and photographer for the Fairfax County Office of Communications and as art director for Fairfax County public schools. After leaving Northern Virginia, she taught art and calligraphy at Anson Community College in North Carolina.
Now retired, the artist has a llama ranch and lives with her husband in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia. Gaining inspiration from the beauty of the Blue Ridge, she produces large paintings of nature while continuing to create and design various art projects. She has now turned her attention to the book-publishing industry.view less
