About the Artist-
Monette Satterfield is an artist and author
with a life long aptitude and interest in drawing and painting
supplemented with both formal and informal training. Her
background is interestingly varied ranging from science through
business to art. She is a member of the Florida Watercolor
Society.
"I paint because it is joyful for me, both
in the creation and the sharing with others. My main interests
are portraiture and natural subjects combined with pattern and
texture. Through these, I aspire to learn something deeper about
a person and share that noble part of them. My explorations of
pattern and texture are driven by the thrill of creating a
complex surface with nothing more than paper and water."
"I choose watercolor as my medium because
it allows me to treat my subjects with unparalleled delicacy and
lightness. I begin a painting with a color grouping that
corresponds to the subject or theme and loosely apply the
paints. Adding more layers, the piece is developed into a
composition where color unites with the unique graphic elements
and lines to produce a harmonious whole."
I'm always interested in hearing from you. Questions about my
artwork are welcome and if you see something you like or would
