Our newest artist spotlight is an accomplished fashion designer turned fine art water colorist, Greta Corens.

| "Iris Joan Sutherland" By Greta Corens |
Corens is as equally passionate and artistic in her way of life as she is in her way of speaking. She titles her pieces in the same emotive words of which her paintings represent- a colorful, glowing vocabulary of excitement balanced by a kind of soft romance with a decidedly European influence. Her work currently focuses on still lives, graphite portraits, and sepia tone nude figure paintings, but her most exquisite work by far is that of her watercolor floral depictions.

| "Iris La Forza Del Destino" By Greta Corens |
 |
| "Iris Donatello" By Greta Corens |
 |
| "Rosa di Jaques Brel" By Greta Corens |
Corens' work has an ethereal quality. Her skills in floral painting can range from the depth of the velvety opacity of a rose petal to the evocative nature of beautiful x-rays with the translucence of sunlight shining through the petals of an iris, illuminating veins and features often difficult to portray in her chosen medium of water color.

| "Minuetto di Rose" By Greta Corens |

| "Bouquet Romantique" By Greta Corens |
Ms. Corens will be an associate member of the American Watercolor Society for 2014. She received second prize at a juried show in the Bendheim Gallery in Greenwich, CT with her piece, "Bouquet Romantique" and is currently available for gallery showcases.
