Artist's Statement

Houghton's masterful technique to pastel painting delights collectors because of the rich, velvety, oil-like quality she achieves in her work. She creates light-infused dreamscapes that invite the viewer to step in and breathe deeply. Collectors easily recognize Houghton's work by her ability to enhance nature's vibrant colors with a continual dance of light.
