MAUREEN RENAHAN-KRINSLEY
STATEMENT
Inspired by deep love of the outdoors, I endeavor to infuse my abstract paintings with energy and flow. Through color, texture, and form, I aim to transport viewers to the varied landscapes that move me, evoking strong emotions and a sense of place. Ultimately, my work seeks to foster a deeper connection with nature and raise awareness of its beauty and the fragility of threatened ecosystems.
