BRENDA BOLES Featured Artist, showing at Kennedy Gallery and Art Foundry Brenda creates silk scarves, angel necklaces, art giclee prints, canvas and originals for gift-giving. Some of her paintings are representational, others are abstract. Many come from her imagination. She loves color and strive to express the essence, a feeling – rather than an actual image. Art and colors can calm the soul or fill the soul with joy and excitement, and she has always felt surroundings make a huge difference in how one feels. Paintings can lift your spirit, feed your soul, and take you somewhere -- or even bring you “home.”
