New Artist: Kyndall Rainey

“Nature is a great storyteller. Even the simplest leaf can speak to storms weathered, seasons past and even of new life coming. The more time I spend in nature, the more I understand about surviving the storms in my own life.”

We loved having Jaiye Farrell’s abstract work in the shop over the holidays and our thrilled to show the work of Kyndall Rainey!

From the Artist:

“As I create, I want to share the ethereal feeling I felt when I make the connection between my one life and the resilience of nature. As I mix various mediums and materials, I often find a harmonious interaction between them. It’s the process of creating that always reminds me of the peace I found when I was near the ocean or by my favorite tree. Even though there will always be storms in life, I find positivity in the constant recreation of nature and the process of reflecting that beauty in my work.”
