Kay Flierl

get to know Kay Flierl

Kay Flierl has lived in the Midwest, the south and the west; each place infusing its unique culture and environment into the person and artist she is today.

When asked what propels her to paint, she thinks Cezanne says it best… ‘Emotion is the starting point, the beginning and the end.’ Kay has an equal appreciation for abstract and representational art, but in each canvas, she sees the emotion that was felt while creating it. That emotion is expressed through texture, color, pattern, beauty and playfulness.

Kay is a self-taught painter, observing and learning through exploration and inspiring fellow painters, but primarily listening to a voice within and a passion that carries her forward. She loves to watch a canvas transform into an unpredictable balance of emotion, intuition and knowledge. She works primarily in oils on canvas.
