“Sunlight on the Seacoast”, watercolors by Kimberly Cooper, from Stratham, NH.
Attend the artist reception for Kimberly Cooper, Stratham, on Friday, February 1 from time (4 to 7 pm at the Seacoast Artist Association gallery, 130 Water Street, Exeter.
Sea Breeze by Kimberly Cooper
As the artist featured
in February
Cooper will be displaying works in watercolor that inspired by living in and
exploring the seacoast region. Refreshments will be served.
Cooper’s paintings are
inspired by her favorite sites from her life exploring and living in the
seacoast region. The genesis for her work starts from plein air sketches, as
well as her own reference photography of the scene or subjects.
Oqunquit Shore by Kimberly Cooper
When asked about her
inspiration for the series she said I always found it interesting how people
bring all these loud, colorful umbrellas, chairs, kites, towels and other
brightly colored items each day to the shore. The configurations change with
the tide, each making unique compositions against the natural landscape. I love
to capture these scenes in watercolor because I feel the white of the paper
lends a vibrancy to a sunny day that can’t be reproduced in any other medium.
Although she works in
many Medias, her favorite is watercolor on paper. “I favor watercolor because
it forces you to think ahead, to act in the moment, and not overwork it,” said
Cooper. “Watercolor is not a very forgiving medium and is easy to overwork but
it has a wonderful luminous quality when you get it right.”
Originally from New
York, Cooper now lives and works in New Hampshire. She has a BFA in fine art as
well as Master’s degree in computer graphic design from RIT. Cooper is an award
winning artist with a background in photography, illustration and design.
