Krispen Spencer
Denton, Texas
Artist Krispen Spencer creates flowing abstract paintings that celebrate color, movement, and transformation. "During the intuitive first stages of my painting process, images may appear and then disappear, as a singular shape gives birth to another, or as two colors become a third," says Krispen. Color is central to her practice, guiding compositions that emerge through a process of pouring premixed acrylic paints directly onto the canvas. She developed her distinctive brushless technique while earning her MFA at Texas Woman's University, using paints of varying viscosities to create rich textures and unexpected interactions. Embracing both intention and chance, she allows the medium to respond and evolve on its own terms. The resulting works capture a sense of fluidity and discovery, with colors flowing across the surface in compositions that reflect her creative spirit.
Artist Statement
There are moments in our lives when we experience awakenings—moments when we know more than we knew a moment before.
One of the things we may know is that we are one with the universe—that the ebb and flow of need and abundance in our lives represents our seasons, just as clearly as the first sprout of grass in spring or last amber leaf in autumn signify the cyclical and ever-changing path of nature.
This realization is what inspires my work.
Painting, for me, is not only a form of expression, but also one of transformation. It is through this journey to the core of creativity that I discover my own.
