"I find that watercolor can be the most relaxing, fun and spiritually satisfying of all mediums. When I paint there is no time or space, only a feeling of pure joy." - Jacquie Clark
I started using watercolor for the ease, no mess, no smell, just add water and it dried so quickly. I have always been attracted to flowers and I feel it captures the fragility of the flower's essence. I find that watercolor can be the most relaxing, fun and spiritually satisfying of all mediums. When I paint there is no time or space, only a feeling of pure joy. I never tire of it. I have visited many museums all over the world and felt the excitement art can bring. I want each of my works to bring that same feeling to the viewer.
