Kristy Kensinger: 'Held by the Sun'
April 7, 2023 12:00 PM –9:00 PM
Event Summary
Artist Statement
Held by the Sun. The golden glow landing on the tree above, the gravity that holds the planets in orbit, the beams that land on my face in the midst of winter; the sun provides us a new opportunity each day. What we do with the light is our choice. Through these abstract landscapes, I find the moments of light in my life figuratively and literally. A reminder each day of how the sun holds us together with its soft gold touch.
Biography
Since a young age, I have traveled across the nation and globe. My travels sparked an internal passion in me that will never subside. When not on the go, I find myself continually researching different cultures. The textiles, patterns, cuisine, and artisans worldwide inspire my artwork and teaching. I love the lessons and unpredictability that travel brings to my life. Each experience is reflected in my artwork and teaching.
I started my career as a freelance graphic designer and then made the transition back to my art and teaching. I studied at the University of Colorado, Boulder graduating with a BFA in Fine Arts and Art History and an emphasis in Digital Arts. When I am not creating, you can find me chasing my kids outside, going on field trips, practicing yoga, hiking, or seeking adventure in travel.
