My paintings are representational. My main medium is oil. My work has been accepted into juried shows and has won awards. I received a 4 year certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. I have continued my education attending many courses and workshops. I have been commissioned to create portraits of people and pets. I love plein air painting.

The journey to find my voice as an artist began as an art student in the New York scene of the ‘60s and resumed in the last decade.

Incorporating artistic ideas and techniques, past and present, is important in order to stay grounded in tradition but not be limited by it. Every day I embrace goals that I set for myself as an artist by taking chances and delving into unknown territory using various materials, textures, and scale, to convey strong emotions.

I must explore my inner world and express my ideas by choosing subjects and images that are personal and meaningful to me. My intention is for every piece of art to tell a bold story through composition, design, and color.

Creating art gives me a sense of purpose, achievement, and excitement. I hope the journey will never end.

My paintings are primarily acrylic and mixed media. I pull inspiration from nature and enhance it with vibrant color. My portraits and landscapes can sometimes be described as "abstract realism" because you have to think about them.

George Watson, a native to the Delaware Valley, discovered early in his childhood his passion for The Arts. Growing up in the 50s and 60’s in a large Irish-American household, George was inspired by many artists such as Degas, Monet, Laurtrec and Picasso.

In 1993, George channeled his artistic vision and talent creating Double U Design, a graphic design company committed to providing creative expertise and business-to-business communications. Clients include both Fortune 500 companies and independent businesses.

Through the ongoing success of Double U Design, George still devoted time for his love of pottery. Encouraged by family, friends and clients, George Watson Pottery was born. George Watson Pottery specializes in stoneware and Raku, creating a unique design and look that blends with any decor. Specifically, the Raku firing technique and the reduction cause the pots to develop vivid colors and copper sheens. Oxygen deprivation (reduction) and drastic temperature changes determine the rich hues. As a result, no two items are exactly alike. This is what defines George Watson Pottery.

I am a metal artist who creates wearable art jewelry. I've been a member of the PA Guild of Craftsmen since July 2018, and a juried member since September 2019. I am a 2007 graduate of Tyler School of Art (of Temple University) where I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree for both Metalsmithing and Sculpture. While in college, I experimented with paper pop-up influences and how it could transition to design elements in sheet metal. My smallest jewelry piece created using this technique was a pair of 1/2" square earrings that cradled the earlobe. The largest sculptural piece created with this technique was a giant 3'H x 6'L bent sheet of steel that was installed 6' high up in a corner of a gallery that mirrored the steps adjacent to it. After graduation, I worked for 8 years as a portrait photographer, but then decided it was time to rekindle my love of metalworking and venture out on my own to focus on merging my creative passions. In June of 2015, I officially started my own business named Serricca Studios. I enjoy exploring surface, dimension and space, as well as the unity of organic imagery with minimal and structural design. Therefore, I decided to revisit my pop-up techniques used back in college. "Garden Collection" was my first jewelry study that later became the primary style choice for both my jewelry and sculptural work. My work currently consists of one-of-a-kind, series and custom artwork that utilizes my knowledge and experiences in sculpture, jewelry and photography. Copper is my preferred metal of choice due to its warm color tone, ability to fuse with vitreous enamels, ability to react with colorful patina solutions and to chemical etching processes. Through use of a piercing and sawing technique, sheet metal is hand-cut and then formed to create dimensional designs influenced by nature and paper pop-up techniques. Surfaces may feature a hammered, patina or enamel finish to complete the piece as a wearable work of art for personal adornment, or decorative artwork for personal expression. All work is made in my eastern Pennsylvania home with much attention and care.
