Description ‘Hawaiian Reef Fish #2’ watercolor by Jocelyn Cheng, Giclée print, several sizes Jocelyn Cheng The Artist about herself All my life, I have lived in a world filled with creativity and art. I have had wonderful teachers who showed me the magic of being creative. Being expressive through various avenues, including drawing, painting, ceramics, textile, and other crafts. Their guidance inspired me to continue to pursue my artistic endeavors. In recent years, I have participated in numerous workshops taught by prominent watermedia artists. As a result, my work, like the creative environment I live in, continues to evolve. In 1989, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I was devastated when I heard the news. While I was undergoing several operations and radiation, I began to explore watercolor and watermedia work. In 1994, treatments ended. I feel confident that I have overcome the disease.  In the process, I have gained a new perspective on what is truly meaningful to me. Now, I worry less about trivial things and enjoy the present which includes continuing to explore the endless possibilities of watercolor, watermedia, and collage. Gardening is also one of my interests which is probably why most of my paintings are of botanical subjects. I feel that the bright colors, beautiful transparencies, and textures inherent in watermedia and collage give life and emotion to my work. Reef Fish Warm Hawaiian waters are home to some of the most colorful and vibrant fishes. The parrotfish or uhu in Hawaiian have mouths shaped like beaks they scrape algae from the coral, biting off chunks of living coral, ingesting it internally by grinding it and excreting it as sand. Much of the world’s coral sand is produced by parrotfish. Their beautiful blue-green and blue-orange colors are an inspiration for me to paint them. The original was a watercolor and a commission piece for a couple who were scuba divers.   There are Limited Editions for the sizes 16×22 and 22×30 available.
