People and architecture figure prominently in Latanision’s work and in both cases urban scenes are frequently depicted. The strength and style of buildings and the many abstract patterns of light and dark they provide, the juxtaposition of people and architecture and the connections they create, make a statement about the complexities of the time in which we live. Sometimes she’ll catch amusing chances or accidents of life that suggest possibilities the viewer can interpret from his or her own perspective.
Watercolor is a favored medium because of the many ongoing and interesting challenges it presents, although she also works with oil, casein, and acrylic.
Latanision has won prestigious national awards for her work from the societies mentioned above, as well as from Audubon Artists, The Salmagundi Club, Adirondack National Exhibition of American Watercolors, and Rocky Mountain National Watermedia Exhibition, among others.
