Jaimee Lee Gentile is a watercolorist specializing in miniature works and based in Eugene, Oregon.
Each little landscape in this collection was painted inside the outline of a quarter. These tiny portals are inspired by both the delicateness and majesty of life.
Her work invites viewers to slow down, dive in, and discover a sense of familiar wonder at a new scale.
Works are for sale. These pieces are limited edition prints at actual size. You may order directly from the artist’s website or, if you are local to Springfield or simply wish to purchase the piece that’s actually in the gallery, please contact the curator.
