New colorful art by Artist Barbara Krupp is now on display at the Westport River Gallery. “My journey as an artist over the past decade has gathered momentum in ways I never anticipated. Professional recognition – which I have never sought – in the form of increased solo, group and now Museum shows has given me encouragement. I believe my expressive potential has begun to mature. Nature has always been my most fundamental inspiration. Gardens, for example, my own and others’, simple and complex, were behind the organizing principles of my work. But in recent years, nature as a larger force has begun to influence my paintings directly. A trek through Eastern Virginia’s fogged and misted woodlands last year began to translate itself immediately into my latest series. When I came home, my painting was different. My colors became quieter, but I feel new energy beneath them. I never know where my life will take me next.” Visit us at 1 Riverside Ave, Westport. Sizes range from 12x12 to 30x40.
