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
