Item Description

"Shred" is an 51"x71" painting of Ted Ligety.

The body of work Kinkead has developed since moving to Vermont five years ago has made her a top-selling artist at a dozen galleries throughout the state and across the country. She’s even picked up celebrity fans: In 2011, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King each purchased one of her paintings at a gallery in Park City, Utah. Kinkead, paints in oil and a wax medium of her own creation using a palette-knife technique to evoke flurries of movement in her figures. Paint and wax are layered, dripped and scraped to create a sense that the subject is still emerging. She uses simple, direct compositions that place her subject front and center on the canvas, and favors cool hues with the occasional shock of red or yellow. She says she’s most attracted to capturing people and animals amid “small moments of joy and triumph.”
