Whitney's passion for sketching on location adds a dynamic and personal layer to her watercolor work. For her, the process of sketching and painting in situ allows her to immerse herself fully in the environment, engaging with the space in a way that feels both intimate and reflective. Each stroke of the brush is a way to analyze the location, its details, textures, and atmosphere, creating a memory that is richer and more vivid than a simple photograph can capture.

​

Her watercolors are not just representations of a place but an attempt to convey the essence of being there—the light, the mood, the energy of a moment. By recording the appearance and the feel of a space, Whitney transforms fleeting experiences into lasting visual stories. Whether it’s the streets of Paris, a vista on the Turkish Riviera, or an Italian architectural detail, her work resonates with a deep sense of presence and connection to the world around her.
