Artist Statement:  

Ms Ragan enjoys the uncontrolled journey of expression that watercolors provide.  She appreciates the excitement and passionate reactions from her viewers, and she seeks a twist, emotion, idea, vision and subject, that viewers will find refreshing and a thrilling visual experience. She always seeks to create something new and adventurous and to exude a wild, improvised, unlimited variety of style, color, topics, mood, and techniques.  From abstract to realism, Ms Ragan utilizes watercolor techniques such as "wet on wet", “impasto” and "wash and line”.  She hopes her viewers  enjoy her paintings as much as she does creating them!

About the Watercolor Paintings: 

All of Mr Ragan’s paintings are finished with Dorland’s bee’s wax medium, that waterproofs and protects, so the paintings can be safely displayed and hung without glass.  The frames she uses are handcrafted from local northwest raw cedar, and the finished framed paintings are so extremely lightweight, they can be hung anywhere with one single pushpin.
