Bobby Lee Krajnik uses a rich palette to create vibrant playful landscapes. Her work has been influenced by the history and beauty of the Southwest landscape, and also the iconic and traditional folkart of Mexico. Her current series “Missiones” is based on sanctuaries of the Southwest and Mexico.

“I am drawn to the rich histories, weathered exteriors and hand construction of these special buildings. To me they represent community. It’s as if the paintings have a personality and have something to say.  As if, they want to reach out and embrace you. Many people find comfort, hope and joy in my work, and I think that is such a special gift. There needs to be a reason for doing this work… something more. I am truly blessed that I am painting the subject that I connect to and that it is so well received.”
