Arizona still life artist Sue Krzyston is featured in Western Art Collector Magazine

One of the top still life painters today is Arizona artist Sue Krzyston who is inspired by the “intricacy and elegant beauty of Native American” artwork, which she has collected for many years. Western Art Collector shines a light on Sue Krzyston's journey as a still life painter in their Collector's Focus article 'The Artistry of Stillness.' Krzyston speaks to the magazine about her inspiration, " 'I think of my paintings as an artform within an artform. I strive to pay tribute to the artisans who created these pieces,” she says. “When composing a painting, I combine a variety of surface textures that will complement each other in each arrangement.
