ARTIST STATEMENT
I discovered the artist in me when I was a child. Drawing has always been a passion. As an adult, I look around and can see beauty in nearly every setting from a flowering weed in a crack of an inner city parking lot to a long forgotten, rusted out truck. I believe that if you look for beauty, you will find it.
I love this painting, "Beauty of the Desert." It was one of the first watercolor paintings l've ever done. This is what made me fall in love with watercolor. ~Laurie Sokiveta
