Historical
For my Historical Watercolors, I depict scenes of historic buildings and figures from the past. Using old photographs and on-site painting, I create watercolors that reflect moments might have existed. Who were the people who inhabited these spaces? What stories and mysteries linger within their walls? Join me in exploring the echoes of lives once lived.
