I recently discovered Kaitlyn’s work through my favorite online art gallery Art & Light and knew right away she’d be my pick for November’s Artist of the Month. The leaves around here are turning beautiful shades of rust and it feels like Kaitlyn’s paintings are singing the same, late autumn, song.

Kaitlyn’s soft watercolor abstracts are the perfect pieces for finishing off any vignette. Nestle one inside a bookshelf or layer it among other pieces on your mantel. I can’t overemphasize what a difference art will make in your home, especially original art. It’s well worth the investment.

Here’s a bit from Kaitlyn about her work, directly from Art & Light Gallery…

“My process has become more bold in that it has been dismantled. Unapologetically simple. A near naked reflection of all I love about the base instincts and elements of painting - pushing water, striking an interruptive mark that may complete a piece or render it to the studies and scrap piles. Pigment, though it usually be akin to the earth and not necessarily fashion.

I manipulate my memories into abstract form, or perhaps it is formless. Melted down, if you will. Shadows swollen over land; carved intricacies in a cathedral threshold; that hue of blue I didn’t know existed until my eyes beheld it growing across a bay one morning; the way foothill winters feel to my warm hurricane born bones.

Elegant and jagged. Flowing and contradictory.

It all morphs into abstractions - modern in their minimalism and use of negative space as part of the whole presentation. What is not offered via medium is to be interpreted and enjoyed right along with what is. Breath to balance the demand.”

Here’s some of my favorites from Kaitlyn’s collection at Art & Light…

This one (above) comes framed.

Love that blue, green, gray mix.

If you love Kaitlyn’s work as much as I do, snatch up your favorite quickly. These paintings are originals so once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

That’s all for this week. Why not purchase a piece from Kaitlyn’s collection for a special spot in your home? You’ll be supporting a small business (Art & Light), and an incredibly talented artist, as well. On top of that, it will get you one step closer to a home you love.

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead.
