Rae Ecklund paints in the traditional
style of watercolor with the intent of expressing the subjects loosely
and allowing the medium to offer its own surprises which watercolorists
refer to as forced accidents. She is as comfortable with
portraits and landscapes as she is with architectural interpretations.
Much of Rae Ecklunds art education was from instruction abroad.
Her formal education was at the Academy of Art College, San Francisco
and continuing workshops in the field of watercolor and oil paining.
