K. LaTourrette
Watercolors

My love of the Southwest - its folklore, pottery, architecture and tri-cultures - strongly influences my work. The old pueblos, adobe homes, cottonwood trees and people - this is uniqueness of the Southwest I want to capture in watercolor.

Beauty can take many forms - an old piece of wood, the shadows beneath a sagebrush, the lines of a cheekbone or the diverse colors of adobe after a rain. I strive for an emotion through design and color. I believe a painting should have a spark that communicates with the viewer - an idea - a feeling - a glimpse of the past - or even deja vu.

 

K. LaTourrette has been a resident of Santa Fe, NM since 1991. She grew up in Albuquerque and has lived in the Southwest most of her life. She graduated from New Mexico State University and earned a master's degree from Troy State University. Her biography appeared in 'Who's Who of American Women'.
