Paintings by Denita Benyshek |

"Born of Czech immigrants in Kansas, I inherited the farmers' close relationship with nature along with their animistic beliefs."
In reverse painting, Benyshek lays a sheet of glass facedown on a table and paints its back, detailing first those features that will appear closest. As glass magnifies the physical distance between paint glazes, colors acquire a jewel-like brilliance. |
