"I fell
in love with watercolor about 10 years ago and since then it has
been my main 'media'. I try to paint in my studio at least three
times a week, but because of my commitments to work and my family,
I am frequently limited with painting time. I dream of, some day,
being able to paint full time. I constantly remind myself that Picasso
painted into his 90's. Striving to perfect my technique with every
painting, I try hard to convey a personal feeling and a private
message to those who view my art. Most of my paintings are about
'pattern'. I love design, color, and texture. I try to incorporate
these items in my paintings, along with my love of traveling and
foreign cultures." —Phyllis Rapp
