Artist Statement
Kerensa Haynes oil paintings describe not the actual world but rather animated, dynamic & ambiguous interior realms. They are the product of her imagination and an intuitive merging of numerous sources, including fleeting feelings, moods, memories, photographs, and moments from her life. Her landscapes, usually vacant of people, are abundant, psychological terrains.
