NAOMI BROTHERTON

In Brotherton's flower paintings she usually works wet into wet so as to express the soft, fresh and bright character of the subject.

A veteran of more than 50 one-artist exhibitions, and group shows as well as an award winner in competitive shows, Naomi Brotherton began her career as a commercial artist, but was studying watercolor painting with nationally known instructors across the country. When she discovered that she could teach, she phased out the 25 year career in commercial art to pursue a teaching career.

Focusing on flower painting and landscapes, she has become known for her night scenes which have been published in various art magazines including International Artist, June/July 2001.

A book, Variations in Watercolor, based on her work was published in 1981 by North Light Publishers and was sold through their book club. This opened opportunities to teach workshops across the country and in Bermuda. Examples of her paintings have been included in other artist's books including Jo Taylor's Watercolor Wisdom and Betsy Dillard Stroud's The Artist's Muse.

Active as a founding member and past president of Southwestern Watercolor Society, she has been honored with life membership. As one of the original partners in Artisan's Studio/Gallery, Dallas, TX, she has taught watercolor painting there for over 25 years.
