Watercolor Florals and Landscapes
By Barbara Saxe
On display in the Kitzmiller Fiction Room through March
In this body of work are Watercolor florals and landscapes. I observe the world around me, looking for patterns and interpreting my surroundings to create designs and watercolors for paintings and textile designs.
“There are moments in our lives, there are
moments in a day when we seem to see beyond
the usual- become clairvoyant. Such are the moments of our greatest
happiness. Such are the moments of our greatest
wisdom. It is in nature of all people to have
these experiences; but in our time and under the
conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are
able to continue in the experience and find
expression for it.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
I started creating art at a very young age. It seemed to be my favorite pastime since I was 6 years old. I am an accomplished watercolor artist and freelance textile/surface designer. My roots are from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where I earned my B.F.A. from Moore College of Art in Textile Design and Art Education. My career took off in Montreal, Canada where I taught and designed for large textile companies and created one-of-a-kind fabric for clients; projects for home furnishings included hand-painted dining room chairs, sofas, curtains, and chairs. Currently, I create watercolors to adapt and modify in Photoshop or on my iPad for Textile designs while working for a company in Sydney, Australia.
