Artist Bio
C. Aubrey McWatt has dedicated his life to aesthetic involvement in several art forms. His paintings, drawings and sculptures are moved by an earnest, creative response to the human experience. His representations are influenced by exposure to the nations of seven countries in which he has lived and more than seventy others visited during an international business career of over thirty years. Aubrey paints from imagination and his artwork reflects a belief that the universe and everything in it including nature, thought, and emotion are inherently connected.
Aubrey studied at the Seattle Academy of Fine Art and is fluent in Spanish and French. He has taught art history and painting to both young people and adults and has presented his illustrated essays, including The Artist’s Search for Reality, Art and Social Change and Postmodern Ideas on the Function of Art to diverse groups internationally. Aubrey has organized and participated in various activities supporting the arts. His works are on exhibit at RE/MAX, Arlington, WA. His paintings are in private collections across Canada, the USA, Japan and the West Indies.
Aubrey is a poet with more than one hundred compositions, and also a sometime lyricist. He has written lyrics and collaborated on creating musical arrangements for his songs that include 'Where the Roses Grow' and 'A Song of Life.' Aubrey produced and acted in a benefit performance of the Pulitzer Prize nominated play by A.R. Gurney,
'Love Letters.'
His books on artwork and poetry are published and available through Blurb.com. under the following titles:
'Poetry and Painting – Creating Connections'
'Moments in Time – Drawings of Life and Nature'
'Paintings and Sculpture – A 50 Year Retrospective'
His first novel,'Red Man', co-authored with Donna Schweibert, is published and available on Amazon.com.
