Impressionistic Contemporary Fine Art
Kay M. Wyne has lived in the community of Lake Highlands in Dallas, Texas for over twenty-five years. Kay’s interest in art has led her to develop her own distinctive style of imagery found in her oil paintings. The subject matter for Kay’s paintings varies, finding inspiration from landscapes, architectural elements, floral arrangements, and ordinary but interesting objects of daily life. Vibrant colors and loose brushstroke movements are characteristics found in her paintings. The use of the palette knife and multiple layers of paint create depth and texture on the canvas, creating a painterly, impressionistic feel.
Kay usually works from still life or her own photographs, incorporating portions and combined parts of photos, to create a fresh image unseen before. The paintings on canvas may be appealing to the eye, not necessarily recreating realistic images, but images reflecting Kay’s own creative, unpredictable perspective. Oil paintings on canvas or board are her painterly visions, capturing a moment in time or a mood for the view to admire.
Kay holds a Bachelors Degree in Art Education from Western Illinois University, and has owned and operated a custom framing business for two decades. She recently sold that business, allowing her to devote more time with her painting. Kay can be found painting at the Studio Art and Soul, located at 1505 Beaumont Street, Dallas, Texas located in The Cedars. Kay can be contacted at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com if you would like to inquire about purchasing or commissioning a piece of art.
