Instructor – Reiko Hervin  
     Reiko Hervin is a full-time watercolor artist. After graduating with honors from Tokyo Design School, she began her career as a graphics artist. She studied under one of the great masters of Japanese art for several years. She continued to study watercolor after moving to the US in 1993. Her artwork has an accent of Japanese sensitivity of luminous colors and dynamic expression in the compositions. She appreciates the power of the sun and the shadows which makes for a three dimensional effect where delicate colors lay on top of each other. Reiko’s work has been broadly published and appeared in a number of significant shows across the country. Her work has appeared on the “Watercolor Magic Magazine” website in 2003-04. She is a juried member of Watercolor West. One of her floral paintings appears in “Splash 9-Watercolor Secrets” by North Light Books. Her painting was one of 10 finalists in the Flowers & Gardens Competition for the International Artist Magazine in 2007, again 2010. Since moving to Nevada in 1997, she has been very active as an artist and educator in the area, receiving numerous awards. Her works are in private collections across the country as well as in Europe and Asia.
