The Watering Hole:  Each panel is exactly as wide and high as I am in this triptych. I had the panels custom made to my size. The inspiration comes from a dream. I saw the size, layers, values and shapes - but the subject matter was vague. The composition has a large amount of open space that I find calming from my time spent at ranches in Montana - big sky country. I love all the layers of color, texture and shape happening in the landscape with the mountainous horizon. There are energized brush strokes that imply movement, yet moments of solid color for your eye to rest and travel through the work. The water rushes by with a hint of danger as in life, yet refreshing and pure just like each new moment. Five is my lucky number. Visually, I find balance with five. There are three panels with light and dark - abstractly adding up to five. There are five horses, two yellow and blue, one red. This painting is a window to the natural world. A band of horses undisturbed, enjoying some private time at the watering hole. Myrna has done a simply beautiful job framing this piece. -- Kimry Jelen

About Kimry Jelen:  In a moment of clarity, Kimry Jelen left the corporate world and her life as a fashion designer to honor the horsewoman she is and pursue her artistic talents. The accolades she received from companies like Nike, Royal Robbins and O'Neill pale in comparison to the joy she receives from interpreting her love of nature with paint, brush and palette knife. 

Her contemporary style flows freely, from abstract to representational, and demonstrates an intimate understanding of her subjects. A native Oregonian, Kimry has made the central part of the state her home, where she is a professional horse trainer and artist. 

She comments on her inspiration, "My art is an opportunity to share what nature shares with me, every creation is a celebration of life, whether an aspen grove, the power of horses, or a critter's sense of humor!" 

Kimry's art is also influenced by her travels in North America to other continents. She has trained in the classical arenas in Portugal and Spain, walked with the primates in Africa, toured through Europe, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and rode the Shinkansen in Japan. Her work has found its way into exhibitions and corporate and private collections around the globe.
