Jason Reicherts has longed to create art for as long as he can remember and his passion has only grown stronger over time. From a young age, he was drawn to artistic endeavors, receiving an art set from an Aunt and Uncle that hinted at a future path.

Fueled with inspiration and determination, Jason took 2 painting classes in college, acrylic and watercolor painting. There was no denying that Jason took to the watercolor paint with ease and confidence. This would be the medium he would try and perfect. Despite his limited experience, he was fascinated by the medium’s capacity for creating layers and its unpredictable blending. He appreciated the immediacy and decisiveness required in watercolor painting, knowing that once the paint was on the paper, it was like a period at the end of a sentence.

Now, with a renewed sense of urgency and the time to dedicate to his craft, Jason is determined to release all of the ideas that have been swirling around in his head all these years. He has built a new studio at his home on Pickerel Lake in Scotts, MI called WaterWood Studio where Jason continues to draw and paint, but also works with wood. The wooden frames he makes for his original pieces are meant to accentuate the art, but not overshadow it. This originality and uniqueness to each piece is a testament to Jason’s lifelong journey with art.
