bio :

Reagan Kruse lives and works in Atlanta, GA where she is completing her Masters of Fine Art at Savannah College of Art and Design. Her work is a fantastical reaction to growing up in the southeastern United States. The landscape between the Atlantic and the Appalachians inspires themes of nature such as fish, birds and mountains. These motifs take on their own meaning with intuitive compositions emerging from the subconscious. Kruse uses primarily oil on canvas to capture truths of her place in these dreamscapes. The imaginative and playful paintings and drawings, combine her art historical knowledge with childlike seeing to form her distinctly unique visual language.
