"From veils of atmosphere to expressive color, to darkest mystery, watercolor can convey nature in all its guises."

“I often think how lucky I am to be a painter.  From the time I was a child, I have felt compelled to paint. I work primarily in watercolor.  From veils of atmosphere, to expressive color, to darkest mystery, watercolor can convey nature in all its guises. The medium of watercolor is challenging enough that I can continue to paint my love of nature, while continuing to evolve as an artist.” (E.H.F) ​Mrs. Hopkins Fountain got her BFA at Carnegie Mellon. She worked at the local public television station as a production assistant and worked her way up through props becoming a scenic artist for television, theater and film. It was a great beginning for a watercolor painter, she recalls mixing gallons of colors, working from a designers thumbnail and blow it all up to a 60′ canvas. She moved on to raise a family and paint from home, eventually pursuing her passion full time.
