Yellow Wildflowers on YUPO (2005) Painting by Marsha Elliott

‘I’ve enjoyed art in one form or another since I was old enough to pick up a crayon and scribble on a wall. As early as third grade, I began blending colors and using shade to create form. Most of my life has been spent dabbling in the fine arts while a career of 40 years as a sign artist has afforded me a daily outlet for creativity. As I approach retirement, I want to direct my creativity towards watercolor. A newfound material called YUPO is helping me to break away from the very technical art form of sign making as I enjoy and marvel at the fluidity and vibrancy of the paint on this fascinating substrate.”
