Kirstie Snyder

Age 58.   Greetings, dear friends! I am Kirstie Snyder, an artist whose canvas is the world around me. Nestled amidst the scenic beauty of Guthrie, Oklahoma, my artistic journey has been a kaleidoscope of colours, textures, and boundless creativity.   From an early age, I discovered solace in the vibrant landscapes that surrounded our charming town. The rolling hills, the golden fields, and the whispering winds ignited a fire within me—a desire to capture the essence of nature's beauty and translate it into captivating art.   With paintbrush in hand, I have explored various mediums, immersing myself in the expressive power of watercolours, oils, and mixed media. My artistic style is an amalgamation of abstract and realism, a reflection of the intricate tapestry that weaves through our lives. Each stroke on the canvas is imbued with emotion, mirroring the awe-inspiring vistas that have inspired me throughout my artistic journey.   Beyond my art, I am a firm believer in the power of community and connection. In addition to being Leon's loving wife, I hold the esteemed position of CEO at a local hospital, a role that combines my passion for healthcare and my desire to make a positive impact on people's lives. Guiding the hospital's operations and ensuring the provision of top-notch healthcare services is both a challenge and a reward that keeps me motivated and engaged.   When I'm not immersed in the world of art and healthcare, my heart belongs to my beautiful family. Pam, our remarkable daughter, has embraced the noble profession of midwifery, serving as a guardian angel to mothers and infants as they navigate the miracle of birth. Her dedication and compassion inspire me every day, and I am proud to witness the incredible impact she has on the lives of those she serves.   Meanwhile, our son, Fox, has chosen a path aligned with the earth and its bounty. Working in the field of Agriculture, he tirelessly endeavours to cultivate sustainable practices that honour the land and preserve its vital resources. His dedication to stewardship and his passion for sustainable farming mirror the values we hold dear as a family.   In my free time, I find solace in the gentle embrace of nature, a wellspring of inspiration for my art. Exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Oklahoma with Leon by my side, I gather inspiration from the vivid sunsets, the blooming wildflowers, and the serenity of the open plains. These excursions nourish my soul and infuse my artwork with a touch of the natural world's magic.   Throughout my artistic journey, I have faced various challenges. The pursuit of perfection, self-doubt, and the ever-changing artistic landscape have tested my resilience. However, it is within these trials that I find the strength to push boundaries, experiment with new techniques, and uncover hidden depths of creativity.   Maintaining a healthy balance is crucial to my well-being. I find rejuvenation in practicing yoga, which centres my mind, body, and spirit. It is through this harmonious alignment that I can pour my heart into each brushstroke, infusing my art with the vitality and energy that emanates from within.   As I embrace the wisdom that comes with age, I am grateful for the winding paths that have led me to this moment. The love and support of my family, the joy of artistic expression, and the fulfilment found in serving my community have shaped me into the person I am today.
