Andrea Alto Medium Watercolor, oils Email nl.creations@yahoo.com Artist's Statement Growing up ear the Canadian border has provided me with an incredible appreciation and connection to nature, which resonates in my artwork. I imagine the beauty of the wilderness as I create a painting, trying to capture the sights, sounds, and smells of the great North Woods. My intention is to offer a sensory experience to those who view these images, an interlude to a more peaceful and serene state of being found in nature.
