Achepohl says “Picasso and Matisse show us the need to return to nature, to observe firsthand, to climb out of our skull of certainty and see again of for the first time.”

 

He is known primarily for this watercolors and prints. Much of the inspiration for his work comes from his extensive travels in the Mediterranean, in particular Egypt and Turkey. Other works reflects his interest in nature through the sensitive depiction and interpretation of plant forms.
