“I believe to grow and expand as an artist you need to paint even if you don't feel inspired,” says Jaime Barks.  “I also do watercolor sketches during my outdoor adventures which keeps me painting even when I am not in the studio.”

She’s most inspired by nature. “I spend tons of time hiking, backpacking, and camping. My goal is to create work that captures what to feels like to be immersed in nature.  I am more focused on capturing the feeling and emotion of a moment over photo realism.

“All my paintings are inspired by places I have been.  When I am exploring outside I create watercolor sketches.  Then in the studio I work from those sketches and reference images to create my paintings.”
