Adriane Hatkoff obtained her art degree in the eastern USA. She became a children’s book illustrator for J.P. Lippincott Publishers in New York City. Then she found herself being called to warmer environs and came to the Bay Area where she attended school in Berkeley, receiving her certification as a textile designer. She worked with a rep in San Francisco selling her designs until she took the plunge to challenge herself with her deepest passion, watercolor.
Since, Adriane lives, paints and teaches in Sonoma County, California. Her beautiful greeting cards and matted prints of her unique watercolors are available worldwide in shops, galleries and wineries. Contact her now!
Another quote that deeply inspires Adriane “Art, Education & Culture are expressions of Humanity, Liberating people from within.”
– Paraphrased from an essay by Daisaku Ikeda of the Buddhist organization ‘Soka Gakkai International’
