ARTIST STATEMENT

"I am fascinated by the interaction of water with other natural elements:  water cascading across rock, surface patterns, and reflections. Water is a constantly moving, changing element that provides me with an infinite visual stimulus. It is also a finite resource that we take too much for granted. I hope my art brings attention not only to the beauty of water but also to its vital importance to the life of our planet."
                                      Will Noble

 

The artist lives in Marin County, California with his wife of 39 years, artist and writer Stephanie Noble. They have four grown children.
