Today's Newsletter is Brought to You by BoldBrush CircleCreating Art is about Creating Magic. BoldBrush Recommends: Jane FritzBiographyJane Fritz always knew she was an artist, but didn't know she was a watercolor artist until she was an adult. She became hooked on watercolors when she created a painting journal while traveling for ten months with her husband throughout southeast Asia. Now based in New Mexico, she has studied watercolors at Montana State University, Billings, and with master watercolorists including Keiko Tanabe and Michael Reardon. She is a Signature Member of New Mexico Watercolor Society, Watercolor Society of Alabama (Bronze Member), Western Colorado Watercolor Society, Montana Watercolor Society, and Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. She was the Awards Coordinator for New Mexico Watercolor Society for four years, judged and curated the 2020 Splash! Watermedia Exhibit at Gallery 140 in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and judged the ArtBark auction fundraiser in Las Vegas in 2018 and 2019. She co-authors the Plein Air/Fresh Air column in the New Mexico Watercolor Society Brushstrokes Newsletter. Jane's columns can also be viewed at her blog here. She exhibits in state, regional, national and international exhibits, and, having traveled and painted in over twenty countries, she has work in public and private collections in several countries. Artist Statement My inspiration comes from whatever makes my heart sing. My passions are wilderness landscapes, wild flowers and wildlife, but I also am fascinated by people of traditional cultures who I encounter during my travels. My aim is to portray a special place far removed from everyday life. A pathway of shadows or other guiding lines leads the viewers' attention to a luminous focal area with the most detail and contrast. This center of interest beckons the observers into the painting, and entices them to examine the details or to imagine what lies beyond the horizon. My hope is that my work will help foster an appreciation for wilderness and nature that encourages people to work toward preservation of the ecosystems that sustain biodiversity.
