Flowers represent the circle of life--especially that part of life which is new and blooming and full of hope for the future. They also seem to have their own distinct personalities. I create my watercolor flowers both on-site and from still life set-ups in my studio. Flowers have their own special stories.

A refreshing perspective on remembered gardens
NEW YORK, NY—FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York City artist, Emily Stedman, has a new exhibit at NOHO M55 Art from September 27 - October 15, 2022. Remembered Gardens—Watercolors of Capricious Nature, celebrates the beauty of the natural world through simple forms.
“The way Stedman paints is just as organic as her subject matter. She doesn’t meticulously mix colors, but instead throws the paint onto the paper and allows the colors to mix.”
~Josey Bartlett, Queens Chronicle

A distinguishing characteristic of Stedman’s watercolors is her unique way of playing with perspective which reflects how gardens are seen and experienced by people instead of how cameras portray them.
Utilizing the interaction between randomness and technique, Stedman employs the watercolor medium as a jumping-off point for the ebb and flow of natural elements in the environment.
