Jamie Hansen: Watercolor Art
I want to dwell in the unfinished edges
Why are the edges of my work important? Why do I feel compelled to leave the exposed borders and messy trails of paint around a carefully planned composition? It might be my relationship with my substrate, the paper. Maybe if I leave a little bit exposed, the viewer can sense of the expanse of white that started the work. If I transformed it all, how could I keep celebrating the process?
Why Instruments? Reflections on the variety of reasons why I paint musical instruments.
We are all like instruments playing a carefully arranged composition. I hope to lift my voice up to anyone who will listen and be an instrument of joy and bright color.

An interview with myself.
As I start 2019, I’m imagining an interview with myself - my younger, more fearful self from January 2018 - learning from myself now in January 2019. I have been given these gifts to share - and I intend to change the world with my art.
