Artist Statement<\/h3>\n<p>My work is primarily in watercolor and monotype printmaking, sometimes a unique combination of the two mediums. My experience as a watercolor painter makes me appreciate the process of monotype for its immediacy and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>My approach in each of these mediums relies upon the subtle building of texture and imagery through the layering of pigment. In both mediums I begin with soft backgrounds, developing structure, revealing and  obscuring shapes. I build layer-by-layer, defining edges set against soft passages to create visual complexity and excitement.  <\/p>\n<p>A large part of my life and artwork is inspired by my time spent outdoors. I walk with \u201c artist eyes\u201d gathering and storing patterns, shapes and colors. My strong bond to nature lets me sense emerging images and feelings within me.<\/p>\n<p>This layered approach has also led me to a deeper view of my creative vision. I want to convey a sense of wholeness and unity in my work. I hope that my imagery crosses cultural divides, might even span time, and unites the human spirit with the natural environment.<\/p>\n<p>My artwork has been exhibited nationally and regionally, including the Fry Art Museum and the  Bellevue Art Museum in Seattle.  I am a signature Member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and the Women Painters of Washington  and over the years received numerous awards.  I recently received the \u201c Excellence in Figurative Art \u201c Award from the  National Association of Women Artists ( NAWA ) in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Currently I exhibit my work at the  Women Painters of Washington Gallery ( WPW ) in the Columbia Center Building in Seattle and in the Gallery \u201cGather\u201d on Vashon Island.<\/p>\n<p>I received a four-year degree in Graphic and Commercial Arts in Germany. In 1963 I immigrated to Kodiak Alaska and lived there for 18 years, raising a family of four children and went commercial salmon fishing with my husband and family.<\/p>\n<p>Now I live for almost forty years on Vashon Island, love and appreciate being part of the community. I also teach Watercolor &#8211; and Monotype Printmaking Workshops in my studio on Vashon Island.<\/p>\n<p>Twice a year our studio Reimnitz Studio  &#8220;One Family&#8217;s Art&#8221; is open during the Vashon Island Artist Studio Tour in May and December.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":269,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-3218","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
