From the Austin American Statesman 3/25/05
These
"discarded" views take on an ethereality and loveliness
resulting from the artist's mastery over his medium. Although
Austin is home to some superb watercolorists, the medium has
suffered an identity crisis of sorts. People generally think
of it as the medium one uses for studies prior to another
work, or perhaps merely a hobby. St. Leger's works suggest
otherwise. Through his bold use of color and complex relationship
with beauty and ugliness in architecture, he transforms sites
like drab and empty Austin parking lots into weighty and atmospheric
vistas, fleeting or not. -Erin Keever
