About the Artwork

Untitled (Park Series) is part of artist Carolyn Stephens' group of watercolors that depict imagined scenes in a park setting. Stephens composed this piece with the human figure only partially visible, allowing the viewer to "become aware of the abstract shapes and the pattern rather than of the images or narrative."

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Washington State Arts Commission.
