Pat Kofahl

February 2009 – On exhibit right now is exceptional art by Pat Kofahl. His work is digital watercolors and he has traveled the world to captured awesome images of places, people and nature. Pat Kofahl wrote:

“We are all storytellers. It is a way of sharing ourselves, of connecting and communicating. Art is just another form of telling stories. Some are fact, some are fiction, and some are a combination of both. I’m not so sure how important it is to decide where the line should be drawn (if at all), as it is to tell the story, to share the moment, to put it out there, trusting that someone will understand, will feel the same”.

“So these are a few little stories. There are lots more. Some images are part of a larger story; some are individual, self contained short stories. Others are like the back of a cereal box, just the sketch of an idea, really, that may or may not turn into something larger later on. I hope you enjoy them”.

Digital Watercolor Giclee available on paper or canvas in multiple sizes. Visit his websites, email or call him for further information:
