About the Artist

"To create a painting is to take a part of life and put it on paper or canvas so that all the world may enjoy it. It is my hope to bring an emotional response to the viewer whether the painting is realistic, abstract, a landscape, wildlife, flowers or a child at play. The wonder and excitement that life brings to each of us is what I strive to show in my paintings."

In 1992 Edith was selected for a cultural exchange workshop in Russia with Zoltan Szabo, a nationally known watercolorist. The trip was sponsored by the Foundation for International Professional Exchange and the Movement for Understanding in Moscow.

Among her honors are awards from the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies, San Antonio Watercolor Group, Coppini Academy of Fine Arts, and the New Braunfels Art League. Her illustrations were featured in a children's book, 'The Pumpkin Patch'. Her paintings hang in numerous private and corporate collections.
