About the Artist

Wannette Latessa Doerrfeld

Wannette is a multidisciplinary artist specializing in watercolor, graphic design, illustration and motion & still photography. Bouncing between photorealism and abstract, experimental and traditional techniques, themes emerge that center wildlife, mother nature and social commentary. “I enjoy exploring how social constructs color the imaginations of who we are. As a black woman painting animals, butterflies, florals and landscapes, I enjoy disrupting and reclaiming that space. I also believe in the power of divine feminine energy to bring back balance to an increasingly fragmented society.” While traditional watercolor is a favorite, Wannette is exploring the use of digital (audio/visual) and nature (elements and pigments) to create experiential mixed medium works. Verve Brand apparel was inspired by her background as a brand identity specialist, graphic designer, former model and college athlete.

Captivating but never captive. Fierce, elegant, and astute. This animal portrait series encapsulates the untamed essence of these magnificent beings, while with watercolor, I infuse a touch of human spirit into their expressions, gaze, and demeanor, illuminating both resilience and beauty.

Birds of a Feather

The intricate beauty of feathers takes center stage as each piece intricately captures the vibrant plumage, graceful movements, and unique personalities of our winged companions. These artworks celebrate the notion that like-minded souls are naturally drawn together. It’s a gentle reminder of the beauty found in simplicity and the power of shared connections.
