Ma Prem Saunders
Bear's Original Pastels: Pastels inspired by nature, meditation, and art therapy


​I work primarily in watercolors and pastels, but I do love oils and acrylics as well. I have been drawing and painting since I was little, and my first focus was painting family portraits and the homes we would move into. The people close to us, and the places where we live, tell a story. They are themselves the story in a way. Bright beautiful colors and soft edges are inspiring and have healing qualities. I let the colors inform what ends up being the finished work.
