Artist Gallery
Thea Schoettgen is a watercolor and pen artist whose work is inspired by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada. From the foothills to the mountain peaks, she captures the landscapes and moments she encounters during her time spent on foot, mountain bike, or skis. Carrying a small, customized watercolor kit, Thea paints on location, allowing her to connect with the land in a way that feels both personal and immediate. Living near Murphys, California, on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, Thea finds inspiration in the varied surroundings—wildflowers, trees, and vistas that change with the seasons. Her work often reflects the quiet beauty of the world around her, capturing small but significant details that might otherwise go unnoticed. Over the years, Thea has shared her art in solo exhibitions, participated in local art events, and taught workshops to help others experience the joy of painting outdoors. She’s also had the honor of providing artwork for private commissions and events, always with a focus on celebrating the natural world. While her work has earned awards and has been featured in fine art festivals, Thea remains grateful for the opportunity to continue learning and sharing her art with others.
