“My biggest surprise at this point is becoming a signature member of the Ohio Watercolor Society. Four years ago, a friend and I applied and failed,” Goltz said. “But I tried again, and in June of 2011 I was accepted.”
Goltz prefers people as her watercolor subjects.
“Portraits are my favorite. In my experience as a counselor, I was intrigued by people’s unique life stories,” Goltz said. “I found that no matter what situation, each person had their own beauty, either outwardly or inwardly.”
That beauty was best distilled and translated through watercolor.
“I love working with watercolor. The medium flows, with the water and color moving together,” Goltz said. “There’s something so spiritual and free about it.”
