“ART LIVES IN OUR SOUL”

ARTIST STATEMENT

I find watercolor to be a fascinating medium. It’s alive in many ways.

 It’s soft, quiet, vulnerable yet can also be hard, loud and tough. 

I find while working that my painting communicates with me, guiding me,

letting me know what it needs. I like to experiment with different subjects,

different papers, different marks but always ending with a feeling of life in my work.

 My work is signed R Putbrese in honor of my parents.
