Cindy Sorley-Keichinger, of Golden K Studio, grew up on a farm in East Central Alberta. Family vacations were always at national parks embarking on lots of trail hiking, with field guides in hand to learn all about the environment. There was no such thing as walking in ignorance of our fellow inhabitants of the planet, the artist explains. Naturally, that led to wanting to draw and paint nature. A self-taught artist, she lives on a grain farm with her husband and their now expanded family that includes grandchildren. With the encouragement of her husband, she continues to paint what she loves.
Sorley-Keichinger works in acrylic, gouache and recently oil, enjoying the punch she gets with the colors. When doing her paintings, she likes to research the animal and area in order to properly portray the creature and its environment. Wildlife is her favorite subject followed by landscapes, as there is never a dull moment with this ever-changing subject matter. Sorley-Keichinger is a member of several guilds: Fellow of the American Artists Professional League, Signature member of NOAPS and Artists for Conservation, and an associate of both the Women Artists of the West and Society of Animal Artists. Sorley-Keichinger’s work was also featured in the 2020 Artists For Conservation show in Vancouver, British Columbia, this fall. She is represented by Picture This Gallery in Alberta.
Picture This Gallery hosts several events throughout the year, the premiere event being the Masterpieces in Miniature Show hosted every May. This invitational art show features artists of stature from across North America and other parts of the world.
