Stella Canfield‘s watercolor art is known for its deep emotional content, the dynamic of the brush stroke and vivacious colors. She creates intuitively and spontaneously in a relaxed, natural way of expressing her individual emotional response to the subject or scene she paints. Her work is charged with the energy of her own life, her passion for people and nature. The inspiration for Stella’s art comes from her appreciation of beauty and her positive view of the world. Stella prefers to introduce symbols, giving the viewers the opportunity to visualize the details. This way she strives to emotionally involve them as partners, to give them a feeling of the ownership of the painting. She believes that art is a way of spiritual communication.
Stella was honored by Daniel Smith with two Stella Canfield’s Artist Master Sets of her
favorite colors and included in CEO John Cogley’s one-on-one video interviews titled In the Artist’s Studio. She was included in Life with John Cogley.
Today Stella teaches watercolor, juries and participates in exhibits initiated by art
organizations in the USA, Europe and Asia. She has received many international awards for her work. Her paintings are in several private, corporate, and museum collections in America, Europe and Asia.
Stella’s work and contribution to American art are published in the book by Karlyn
Holman Watercolor The Spirit of Spontaneity. Her biography is included in Who’s Who in
America and Who’s Who in American Women.
