Barbara HotsonAbout Barbara Hotson

A longtime wedding and portrait photographer, Barb has been painting exclusively in watercolours for ten years now. "There is something magical about the interaction of pigments, water and paper- what we plan is not always what we get!  As in life - we start with an idea, design an expression of that idea and assemble our imagination, enthusiasm and energy and begin. Then- we have to let go! It is in the letting go that the magic happens - in Watercolours and in Life"
Barbara's watercolours have been called "luminous", "magical" and "glowing with colour". She exhibits and sells in Toronto, Collingwood and Florida and has a large following who love her work.
