 Stella
Canfield’s watercolors reflect her personal
emotional response to the subjects she paints. Her paintings invite the viewer
to participate and share in this emotion. The inspiration for Stella’s art
comes from her appreciation of beauty and her positive view of the world. Her
passion for life is evident in her colors and in the spontaneous, expressive way
she paints. Painting in this fresh, impressionistic style has won her many
awards in juried and invitational shows. Stella has been invited to teach,
demonstrate and judge shows by numerous
national arts organizations , including Daniel Smith Inc.
and the
prestigious Northwest Watercolor Society. Her passion and enthusiasm for
watercolor and teaching have led her to teaching internationally.. Stella's
paintings are included in many private and corporate collections in the USA,
Europe and Asia.
Stella Canfield grew up
in Varna, Bulgaria where she was a national athlete and received a master’s
degree in sports education and therapy. She left her native country in 1980 for
Germany, and moved to the United States in 1985. While raising four children,
Stella has pursued her life long interest in the arts and found her second
profession. Stella and her husband Michael divide their time between Whidbey Island, Washington,
USA and the small village of Barzitsa, near the Black Sea, Bulgaria. Art is Stella’s
life. When she is not painting, she is
teaching watercolor
in
her
studio,
in the Northwest or internationally.
Stella is
the founder of Stellar Arts Foundation.
