I’m Eboné Brown, an author and watercolor artist. Creativity has always been an important part of my life, whether I’m telling a story through words or interpreting something that has caught my attention through watercolor.
As an author, I have published five fiction and nonfiction titles, available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon and a few indie bookstores in Contra Costa. I especially enjoy creative writing and exploring the experiences, relationships, and unexpected moments that shape a story. I have also participated in creative writing competitions through Reedsy, which have given me opportunities to experiment with shorter forms of storytelling and new ideas.
My journey with watercolor grew from my love of landscapes, nature, travel, and the beauty found in everyday moments. I’m especially drawn to landscapes and seascapes, and I enjoy taking something I’ve seen or experienced and interpreting it in my own way.

Artist Statement
Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:
Storytelling is at the heart of my creative work, whether I am writing or painting with watercolor. I find inspiration in landscapes, seascapes, nature, travel, people, and the beauty found in everyday moments, and I enjoy observing the world around me and finding my own way to interpret what I see and experience. Even a landscape can tell a story—it can capture a moment, create a feeling, hold a memory, or invite someone to imagine what might be happening beyond the scene. My process often begins with something that catches my attention, whether it is a place I have visited, a photograph, an observation, or simply an idea that I want to explore. With watercolor, I especially enjoy the balance between intention and unpredictability. Whether I am working with words or watercolor, my hope is to create something that encourages people to pause, connect, and perhaps discover a story of their own.
