Liz Haberman
Artist Statement
My grandmother and mother were artists and in retirement I decided to follow in their footsteps and in the process fell in love with watercolor. My subject matter preference is for my art to tell a story or create a feeling. That story may be joyful and full of whimsy or sad and thought provoking. I leave the interpretation to the viewer.
