Edie Kynard: Frazzled, Fearless & Free

Art is a fruit that grows in man, like fruit on a plant, or a child in it’s mother’s womb. – Edie Kynard

“Driving along with my Nikon on the seat beside me, I was content with a cup of coffee and scenic views of a foggy morning in St. Augustine. The lake looked surreal and I knew that this piece of work was going to be very satisfying! It’s gorgeous in print!”

Welcome to the creative eclectic world of Edie Kynard.

I love to encourage people and I love to create. – Edie Kynard

I first met Edie’s art online when I came across her piece, “Honey is the nectar of heaven,” on her website, www.ediekynard.com. Her artwork captivated me, so I left her a comment on her blog and a request to feature this piece on my creativity website.

This very talented lady captures mesmerizing images and then crafts them into messages, so I just had to see more.

Recently, Edie contacted me to tell me that she had purchased the Kindle version of my book, Refrain from the Identical: Insight and Inspiration for Creative Eclectics. As we emailed back and forth, we realized our artistically eclectic similarities, so I asked Edie if I could feature her on my creativity website. Here is her bio from her website and additional samples of her artwork:

“I’m an award winning graphic artist, photographer and freelance writer. For the past 20 years, I’ve published two magazines per month, created coffee table books for Chambers of Commerce and have moved gradually into the world of blogging. My artistic blogs can be found at www.ediekynard.com and http://www.praiseproseandphotos.com.

Three of my best friends are: my Nikon, I Pad and I Phone. I possess the mind of a busy woman with a frazzled, type A personality. I recognize tenacity as a prerequisite to fearlessness, (one of the reasons I chose to venture into online sales with Fine Art America).

 

Each day I experience freedom that is born of artistic expression. Every sunrise, for me, is a gift from God and I give back through artistic expression and try my best to offer kindness to someone, somewhere before night falls. I hope you enjoy my art as much as I have enjoyed the artistic process in getting it ready for uploading to this website. Thanks, for visiting. – Edie Kynard”
