About the Artist: Bio: Buffy Kaufman was born and raised in Southern California. Creativity and its ties to natural materials are interwoven into her practice. Buffy is a Brand Ambassador for Daniel Smith Watercolors. Her core belief is that art is better shared, so she recycles her studies back into the art community by teaching in person and online classes. Her current artistic pursuit is a spontaneous and satisfying painting method called watercolor pouring.
