” I like to think that I chose to work in watercolor but in many ways watercolor chose me. We have an agreement, it goes where it wants with little direction from me. Watercolor is not a medium that is “pushed” around. Instead you have to adapt and abandon rigidity as it flows and runs across the paper creating hypnotic washes. I strive to bring a sense of space and atmosphere, with a cinematic elegance and quiet sophistication to my work. Creating a poetic narrative, each piece telling a unique story”  — Daniel Marshall

“I am currently working in oil on a series of plein air and studio pieces based on the beauty of our California coastal areas.  It is my goal to lead the viewer on a voyage of discovery around the painting with the hope that they will be drawn in by the contrasting elements of light and dark values, color and colorlessness, impasto and smooth brushwork, vertical and horizontal elements, geometric and organic shapes, interesting compositional ideas and soft and hard edges.” –JoAnne Unger
