Detha Watson was born in
New Mexico, the Land of
Enchantment, in 1944, and
has been painting
professionally for over 35
years.
The artist works with both
oil painting and bronze.  
Leaning Tree is currently
producing greeting cards,
featuring much of her art.
Detha has a particular
affinity for portraiture. She
prefers to do her own
photography whenever
possible; visiting her
subject's homes enables
her to suggest the
approach she feels will best
reflect the individual.
For her the process of painting, whether a character study,
wildlife or portrait, is an intimate act of love involving herself,
the subject and the painting. In the final result she wants a
painting that will portray the inner as well as the outer
beauty she perceives in her subjects.
