Robin Reece

I’m a Bellingham-based artist with a background in photography, web design, and tattooing—but these days, I’m all about watercolor. I grew up surrounded by my dad’s watercolor paintings and finally picked up a brush myself after moving to the Pacific Northwest. Now I teach local classes for teens and adults, helping others feel confident and inspired as they explore the magic of watercolor.
