Nature's Brushstrokes: A Conversation with Wildlife Artist Kristy Guenther

Behind the Studio Door

On a recent episode of our podcast, "Behind the Studio Door," we had the pleasure of diving into the artistic life of Kristy Guenther, a talented wildlife painter based in Rochester, New York. Kristy’s passion for nature and art radiates through her vibrant acrylic paintings, which she creates on both canvas and paper. During our conversation, she gave us a glimpse into her daily routine, which starts with slow mornings and transitions into focused painting sessions at her studio located in the historic Yards Art Collective.

Kristy also opened up about the depth of research that goes into each piece, from understanding animal behaviors to capturing the details of their habitats. Her commitment to her craft and her connection to the local art community enrich her work and ground her artistic practice. Listening to Kristy share her journey was not only inspiring but also a reminder of the vibrant local art scene here in Rochester. Her dedication to blending creativity with community engagement makes her a standout voice in the world of art.
