Animals

Animals are a giant part of my family's and my life. My uncle had a pony and cart I remember riding in before I was in kindergarten. Growing up we had an endless stream of hamster, gerbils, bunnies, dogs, cats and later, when my parents moved out to their farm, goats, horses, a pig and donkey as well as tons of chickens and cows. We even had our share of wild animals, some lived with us, some were just visitors we treasured interacting with.

Thanksgiving Visit
This painting is based on a true event that happened to us one Thanksgiving. My husband grilled a turkey and as we were eating dinner, we could see a hawk sitting in the tree outside of the dining room. one of our guests grabbed a turkey leg off another diner's plate, ran out onto the porch and tossed it onto the walkway. The hawk smoothly swooped down and carried it off. I memorialized the event in this little painting. I also included the loud-mouthed Carolina Wrens. This was the first year they'd built a nest in our mailbox on the front porch.

Black Cats


Mr Smalls Finds A Vase
Mr Smalls was a cat we had until just before the pandemic. He was a very big cat with large yellow eyes. Sometimes all you could see was his big yellow eyes watching you from a sheltered corner.


Not Sorry
My sister's black cat, Ouiji, is a troublemaker, with an attitude.

Guineas are fantastically graphic, I love playing around with their shapes and plumage. They are fantastically loud and goofy acting.

My New Online Home

On the move again As yall know last year I started looking around for another way to host my work online. I was moving away from the lunacy and scam-ridden world of social media. It was hard, and I really enjoyed making little animations and images to share; but I know my content was becoming just more advertising on top of an overwhelming amount of ads that my followers were being inundated with. As I looked into it, I see  that social media can have a detrimental effect on users' mental health and happiness. Creating unhappiness or stress is the exact opposite of why I create images. So I stepped back from that malstrom. And now I'm taking another step in a better direction. I'm moving away from prints and 3rd party reproduction to focus on real world interactions, and original creations. To do this, I'm shutting down my old url (https://www.kitkatzenworks.com/) and moving my work to a new home:  https://www.coroflot.com/krinkn What is Coroflot? Coroflot is a global s...

  What's Going On? I can't say welcome back to you, because I'm the one who has been gone. I was gone for years focusing on my software UX/Design work for Lenovo. But in Jan this year, 2022 - holy cow 2022 - I retired from softwareland. I am now ready to indulge my less linear side. I know my engineering teammates are probably all rolling their eyes at since linear is probably not a word they would have associated with me. But, the design process is both linear and iterative, like the creation of art. Art is where my head and heart are now. Always my head has been full of ideas for sculptures, pictures, collages, things I could make. Ideas sprang up like popcorn. Always I was thinking, "I want to make that!" Always the answer was "no time." Now I have time, space and tons of materials I've collected over the years to turn into things that I've always wanted to see. Now I need to build the skills I need to create the things I want to see.  I also ...

 Pretty much anything can be an object for my painter's eye.
