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."
