Rachel B. Collins

Watercolor Artist

"God is the most subtle of designers. The artist works to bring something of the excitement of this design and form in the  natural world to the attention of all viewers, so that our vision of even the mundane may be changed. I paint in transparent watercolor because of the medium's versatility, and because of the active interplay among the colors, the water, the painting surface, and my visual ideas."
