About : Lila Putnam

Lila Putnam is a watercolor artist who lives and works in East Wenatchee, Washington. She has been painting much of her adult life and has been exhibiting since 1984. She is a signature member of the Northwest Watercolor Society, Eastern Washington Watercolor Society, Western Colorado Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. She has received many awards including 1st Place and Best of Show in juried shows across the Northwest.

Lila says this about her work:"Small magical subjects that are hidden in the quiet corners of nature excite me. These intimate glimpses of natural beauty have extraordinary poetry. I believe that painting close-ups of nature not only gives me a whole new range of subjects, but adds a new dimension to my work. I do not feel I can improve on nature, but feel compelled to interpret visually how nature has inspired and fascinated me. Flowers have always been a part of my life. My mother had a garden filled with fragrance and color form early spring through October. And I have become an avid gardener, too. Watercolor is a medium that awakens my creativity. Its perverse qualities challenge me to harness its innate vigor. To me watercolor seems limitless in its artistic potential and presents infinite possibilities. Transparent watercolor has a luminosity that sets it apart from all other media. Light passes through the paint to the white paper and reflects back to the viewer with a transparent quality that gives watercolor its characteristic glow. I prefer to paint the pleasing, pleasant and delightful to the eye. I choose to bring a little beauty into the world."
