“Relinquish” by Kay Flierl

Kay Flierl has immersed herself in the creative world for over 20 years. She has lived in the Midwest, the south and the west; each place infusing its unique culture and environment into the person and artist she is today.

What propels me to paint? Cezanne says it best…’Emotion is the starting point, the beginning and the end.’ I have an equal appreciation for abstract and representational art, but in each finished piece, I see the emotion that was felt while creating it. That emotion is expressed through texture, color, pattern, beauty and playfulness. I am a self-taught painter, observing and learning through exploration and inspiring fellow painters, but primarily listening to a voice within and a passion that carries me forward. I love to watch a canvas transform into an unpredictable balance of emotion, intuition and knowledge.
