About
Kelly Brynteson is an abstract artist with a passion for creating large original artwork. Raised in a small town in MN, Kelly admired the natural beauty of the country around her. Taking in that beauty, she started oil painting those country landscapes on saw blades with her dad. At that young age, she caught the artist bug and her love for everything creative was born. Kelly painted off and on throughout high school and college. Following graduation, she created loft style paintings that she sold to collectors in the Minneapolis area. Kelly took a hiatus from the art world with a move to Austin, TX.
Years later, her corporate job challenged her to do a 'Start, Stop, Continue' in her personal life.
To meet the challenge, Kelly dusted off her paint brushes and her passion for painting was reborn. With excitement, Kelly called her dad to convince him to start painting again. His response, “someday”. Shortly after, her father unexpectedly passed away. It took every ounce of strength to pick up a paint brush for the first time. Through tears, Kelly called upon her dad to give her the strength to continue a commission that was in progress. She soon found that the more she painted, the better she felt. It became her grief therapy and provided healing, but more importantly, it was and still is, a lasting connection to her dad. While the "someday" did not come here on earth, Kelly can feel his presence, his guiding hands and love for painting. She knows he is with her as he paints in heaven.
Kelly still searches everyday life for inspiration.
Taking visual snapshots of color combinations that are mentally catalogued to use as inspiration for future paintings. Kelly enjoys using acrylics and mixed media to create single, diptych and triptych canvases to create one-of-a-kind abstract art. She is known to create paintings that flow together in perfect harmony that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Kelly's recent work is mainly commissioned where she works with clients listening to their wants and needs. Kelly uses that information to create custom paintings that transforms a clients' space. Her paintings are created to match the modern art stream. Kelly strives for the best quality in both materials and finish. All of her paintings are hand-crafted with great care and are coated with fine art varnish to protect the colors for extended time, and to ensure durability and protection against changes in room temperature.
