Wh
at’s more in October is the Art of Visual Feast Gallery’s proprietor Chrissy Noel Kinslow (that’s me). On the menu will be my specialty, textural high relief mixed media paintings in a variety of sizes, served with your choice of sculpture, drawings, or affordable prints. The question what will you be when you grow up was never difficult for me to answer, I was born to create and motivate others with the gift of inspiration and imagination. I am inclined to expose myself by introspection of where I am in my existence as well as affection for exploration of materials and media. The colors, shapes, patterns, & textures all emerge from my feeling, moods, dreams, & passions. The light bulb that goes off in my head which ignites my hands into action is directly related to my environment both internally and externally. My curiosity and desire for challenges enables me to utilize items and media in an unorthodox manner, at times leading to happy accidents. Come check me out during the Moab Art Walk Saturday October 8th starting at 5:00 and dine upon a buffet of edibles, audio and art!
