Cipriani-Willis to present 'Beauty of Watercolor' workshop

While earning her B.A. in Fine Arts at California State University, Los Angeles, Cipriani-Willis' style was exclusively nonrepresentational abstraction, working in acrylics and using a loom to weave multimedia sculptures. Later, studying with nationally known artists such as Don Andrews, Gerald Bromer, Frank Francese, Fealing Lin, Ted Nuttall and Frank Webb, and achieving Signature Status in the National Watercolor Society as well as being named a Master Signature Member of

Watercolor West, she developed a style all her own; a unique style that reflects the fanciful movement and beauty of light as it dances, drapes, and bounces across her subjects.

Cipriani-Willis serves as director at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony, a retreat for artists, musicians, writers, and composers, located in Temecula, California.
