Bluefin Tuna, 2016, watercolor, 14×10
A long-time resident of Dubuque, Alda Kaufman immigrated to the United States in 1951 with her Latvian parents. A science major in college, Alda worked as a medical technologist and attended numerous art workshops in her spare time. She currently shares studio space at Studioworks in the Schmid Innovation Center and is represented by Outside the Lines Art Gallery.
Alda finds watercolor a challenging and unpredictable medium. She experiments with non-traditional painting surfaces which make the medium even more interesting to control.
