Maureen E. Kerstein: The sea, the ocean, the waves rising, breaking and crashing on the shore and the movement of the water as it ebbs on the sandy beach: This is what I capture in my seascapes. In order to accomplish this I allow the painting to take on a life of its own by turning the color loose to mingle and float freely over the surface of the paper. The results are “landscapes of the sea”, the ocean used as a means of artistic expression. Painting with various water media, I simulate weather conditions by adding heat and cold, mild breezes to heavy winds, and falling mist to pouring rain. The paint and water flows on the smooth surface much the way a skater glides on the ice. The result is a completely unique painting. Originally from Michigan, I have lived and worked as a professional artist in both Florida and Georgia for the past 24 years. My art has been published in books and magazines, received awards, and exhibited in Museums with prestigious Watercolor Societies. The Georgia Watercolor Society (GWS) has awarded me the degree of Signature Membership. Please visit my website for a full biography. www.seascapesartgallery.com
