Connie Athman
Watercolor Artist
Using watercolor, I want to showcase the breathtaking beauty of nature and in particular the Pacific Northwest forests, mountains and coast. Glazing layers of watercolors create vibrant colors that are the under glow of my nature and forest scenes. My paintings are loose representations of the subjects with just enough detail to provide recognition and interest. I am constantly pushing my paintings to flow from reality to imagination.
The natural world is my comfort and constant inspiration. I feel privileged to have worked on our public lands for 35 years. I try to express that world in my paintings because I want to be reminded of and to hold a part of that natural beauty in me every day. Beauty is all around us!
