Watercolors by Dee Leach

"Many painters set out initially to capture what the eye sees, and the mind translates, continuing through a brush onto the painting surface - creating reality of a reflection. And so it is that we all become related by shared experiences of creativity.

The poetry and quiet relationship with nature affords for me a place and space of communication touching on the experience of color, form and light. 'There are voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter the world.' (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Communicating with nature and translating that connection into my paintings provides an opportunity to keep the faint voice speaking.

Throughout the years I have studied with over fifteen international renowned watercolorists; exhibited throughout California and elsewhere; and have been fortunate to have people interested in acquiring my paintings throughout the United States. With my business career winding down, it is my intention, and joyful desire, to devote more time and energy to this wonderful endeavor."
