Artist Statement

Nature is most often the immediate source of inspiration for my works; specific places, particular elements of the landscape, and processes such as growth, metamorphosis, and regeneration. I spend a great amount of time immersed in natural environments. Many of my works can be traced back to outdoor excursions.

Art thrives in the realm of the inarticulate. It illuminates by sparking recognition.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    -Kelly Krueger, December 2012

 

Abstraction has always been the cornerstone of my visual arts repertoire. My artistic concerns are rooted in color and composition but ultimately reside in the intense process of fusing tactile material with ethereal inspirations. The opportunity to evoke new visual experiences rather than to simply interpret those which already exist continues to fuel my desire to paint and make art.

Whether through painting, drawing, printmaking, collage or mixed media, I aspire to participate in the cycle of regeneration and renewal of those ancient artistic precepts; beauty and truth.                                                                             -Kelly Krueger, 2013
