Claire Bischoff Watercolors

"My work focuses on capturing fleeting moments of beauty through watercolor. I build depth and emotion through bright, transparent layers to create art that is detailed and realistic, overlayed with a thoughtfully optimistic view of the world.

The sometimes capricious nature of watercolor creates an intriguing vessel for my artistic expression. I seek to balance the fluidity of chance occurrences with deliberate brushstrokes. Each painting is an exercise in trust and flexibility and a never-ending journey of learning when to take control and when to take a step back.

I am typically inspired by simple scenes with a quiet, understated beauty, and I strive to memorialize the moments that might otherwise be forgotten or go unnoticed. Through my art, I find a purer depiction of the mood and ambience permeating the experiences of life. My work hints at the deeper emotions that hide just under the surface of the scenes and people I paint and embodies my unique view of the world."
