A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "I create watercolor paintings from real places I've visited, painting in a style that ranges from impressionism to realism. My focus is on making art from my own experiences, translating them into something that anyone can enjoy. Like a lot of people I struggle with stress and anxiety; being outdoors helps me to feel re-energized, and at peace with life. My goal is to convey the peace and joy I feel in nature to the viewer through my art. I hope to help others relieve their own stress by providing a peaceful visual escape from the chaos of daily life."
