Originally from Spain, Lana Privitera graduated in 1983 from the Fine Arts School of Zaragoza, where she majored in Fashion Design and Art History.
After working in Advertising for a few years, she moved to the USA in the early 1990’s. 
After a long hiatus, she returned to painting watercolors again in 2014, focusing this time in highly realistic Still Lifes.
Privitera’s large watercolors have been accepted and exhibited in numerous USA and International competitions, winning top awards in a number of them.
Her work is incredibly clean, clear, and full of light and life.
Sometimes you will find yourself asking — is this a photograph or a painting?
Everyday things take on an extra depth and hue in Privitera’s watercolors.

She is one of the artists that can make fantasy reality. I only wish I had a 1000th of her talent!

I had to look really close at the men sitting on a bench. It almost looked photo-shopped. But I am trusting her website and see it is not. Incredible.

Love this work. I was amused by the image with the Kleenex box. But I must confess to being inspired by the graphic design on a Kleenex box myself.
