About the Artist
LeAnn Wilkins
I aspire to be an artist because painting brings peace to my day. My absolute favorite medium is watercolor. I find it fascinating to work with because of its unpredictable nature. I paint in an expressive manner; my method is more like carving with a brush in hand, layering and blocking in color to create a form and mood similar, but not identical, to what is in the photograph. Art is my therapy. I live with chronic pain but refuse for pain to control my life. Like many circumstances in our lives, you can control watercolor only to a point. I can let the unpredictability of life consume my thoughts, or I can choose to go with the flow. As the paint flows across the page, I watch with anticipation. I paint animals and nature because they make me happy. When I focus on being calm, my mood is reflected in my work. I hope that when people view my art, they too will feel at peace and will be encouraged!
