This collection features original watercolor paintings and museum-quality fine art prints of the Old Well, Chapel Hill campus architecture, walkways, historic buildings, gardens, Bell Tower, campus landmarks, and memorable scenes throughout the University of North Carolina. From the historic beauty of the Old Well and Carolina blue skies to quiet campus pathways and seasonal landscapes, each painting is created entirely by hand using innovative watercolor techniques developed over decades of experimentation and artistic exploration.
Ryan Fox is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor Society, and Transparent Watercolor Society of America. His paintings have been featured in Watercolor Artist Magazine, Art of Watercolour, and the Splash watercolor series, and exhibited in nationally and internationally juried exhibitions recognized among the most competitive in watercolor painting.
Combining traditional watercolor with experimental techniques including poured watercolor, mouth atomization, wet-into-wet painting, and watercolor batik on Japanese rice paper, these paintings emphasize luminous color, atmosphere, movement, texture, and dramatic light. Rather than simply documenting campus landmarks, each painting seeks to capture the emotional experience, school pride, nostalgia, and sense of connection associated with Chapel Hill and UNC traditions.

Available as original watercolor paintings and archival-quality giclée prints, each artwork is designed to bring warmth, atmosphere, memory, and Carolina pride into your home or workspace.
