Hi, I'm Crisynda.  Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. (I like it that my mother created my name).

My world is and has always been filled with many interests and passions. Some of them are traveling to see how others live, homemaking to provide a comfortable and delightful nest for my family, gardening to watch new life being created which seems like a miracle with each seedling, a career in nursing that immensely enriches my soul and humbles me, volleyball to feel powerful and laugh at myself and sailing to feel free. I cherish my family and friends who bring me the greatest reason to love, laugh and learn. All of these experiences I now want to infuse into my paintings. 

A good portion of every day now is invested in art with the expectation that I will create more works that show growth and surprises. My first love was watercolor. But after a long time, I began working with new media and approaches to painting.  I try to limit my palette with each painting so there is a little of each color in almost everything.  Then, that particular family of colors doesn't argue but rather play harmoniously with one another.   I would enjoy an ever growing-audience that finds my work interesting, thought provoking and valuable to them. 

What is seen and felt about a painting is what makes art alive.  I fall in love with what inspires me to paint and with most the paintings themselves. Then, I wait, watch and listen for the next one.
