Artist Comments
"As an autumn chill slowly descends on the hot and humid summer days in Texas, I anxiously awaits the arrival of pumpkins to my area," says artist Kristine Kainer. "Though the largest ones spend their time in the yard to herald the harvest season, miniature pumpkins are found throughout my home - even on my easel's shelf - to remind me of the colorful, crisp autumn days of my life on the east coast."

About the Artist
For Kristine Kainer, recreating her emotional attachments to subject matter, whether a still-life or landscape, is paramount. Her goal is to emotionally trigger a response in the viewer. But, "this response does not need to replicate my own feelings; instead, I hope to make the viewer pause for a moment, reflect upon, then respond to my work in a personal, meaningful way."
