Mick McFerren
ARTIST STATEMENT/BIO
Clark "Mick" McFerren, a high school English teacher, began to dabble in watercolor painting in 1990 after the birth of his first child. He needed a hobby that helped him unwind, was portable, and easy to engage in while watching a curious child.
Mick finds most of his subject matter in Iowa, neighboring states, and from family vacations. His work generally starts with a plein air sketch. He then uses the sketch and photographs to produce a finished work in his 'studio'.
"Watercolor painting is tremendously rewarding. The Medium comes under the 'creative influence' of the watercolorist but tends to behave with a will of its own. A painting becomes a conversation with the paint and the paper - sometimes it turns into a debate and things really become a lot of fun!" - McFerren
