Artist Statement

My name is Kelly Puent, and I create mixed media paintings using materials such as acrylic or oil paint on wood with the addition of stained glass, sometimes sharpie marker, and other varieties of materials such as decorative papers and fabrics. I often frame my own work by altering simple wood frames, by creating my own frames out of materials such as old barn wood, and some of my work requires no frame at all. It’s not unusual for my work to protrude beyond the frame, and my works that are unframed often have an organic finished edge. Most of my work has a strong emphasis on color and movement, and my subject matter ranges from from abstracted images to flowers, landscapes, animals and portraits. Much of the inspiration for my artwork comes from the beauty I see in my own gardens, in the rolling landscape of Southeastern Minnesota, and in the people whom I care about most.
