Testimonials...
Inspired by nature...designed to endure it.
I'm a fan! D.D. Watkins knows just how to apply color, soul, earth and heart to everything she touches. Her artwork is simultaneously inspiring and soothing to the soul. Part Zen, part visual candy. Her range is surprising, which makes each era of her artistic phases a joy. Everything she adds to my home makes it one step warmer, more the kind of place my children and I can sink into.

D.D., your artwork is sublime! Many artists are inspired by nature, but there is luminosity to your work that seems to come from another place...it draws one in to explore....such resonance occurs!

Amidst a sea of Plein Air similarity, Santa Barbara artist D.D. Watkins is quietly crafting a collection of fascinating metallic artworks. With subject matter ranging from landscapes and flora to traditional Indian Mandalas, her paintings inspire intrigue and fascination. Gleaming like polished metals- they are bursting with subtle details and textures, but inspired by surprisingly simple natural elements. Her work reflects her positivity and showcases her multi-faceted vision and talents.
