Buffy Michelle Kaufman 
(American b.1975 Orange, Ca) 

About:

Hi, my name is Buffy Kaufman, a watercolor pour artist born and raised in Southern California. I was always drawn to nature and expressed myself artistically from an early age. It's such a delight to blend water and pigments on textured papers, crafting paintings that draw inspiration from the beauty of creation. My artwork is described as expressive, textured, and filled with light. I love to integrate my studies into engaging lessons and demos for the arts community. I serve as a Brand Ambassador for Daniel Smith Watercolors and also hold a Signature Membership with the Louisiana Watercolor Society.

Buffy resides along the San Gorgonio Pass in Calimesa, California, with her husband Neil and their cherished Doberman, Cowboy.
