Artist's Statement

    "It is good to go on believing that everything is more miraculous than one can ever begin to understand, for that is the truth."         Vincent Van Gogh

    These words of Van Gogh have guided me through a lifetime in the arts. I paint to connect with life's mysterious beauty...to map the moments of perfect light and color and to connect to the essence of a place in time.        Carole Rae Watanabe
