Made New. Kendra Runnels, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

By Gina Malone<\/p>\n

One of the most magical things about creativity is discovery. Artists often stumble, years later, upon truths about themselves they never realized at the time that they were creating. Such was the case with mixed media artist Kendra Runnels who looked back at paintings she made while in her twenties that portrayed people walking down the street in the rain with umbrellas. \u201cThe paintings were really dark with small pops of color,\u201d Runnels says. \u201cAll the while I was trying to develop my style and what made my art uniquely mine. The darkness in my paintings early on depicted the hard things I was going through and the small pops of color were the hope I still looked forward to and saw in life. Only looking back on it now do I see this. At the time I was depressed and was just \u2018making art.\u2019 But I see now it was much more than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dance for Joy. Kendra Runnels, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Runnels had graduated with a BFA from Savannah College of Art & Design and found work as a graphic designer\u2014first in her native Ohio, then in Charlotte\u2014but was unhappy and unfulfilled in both jobs. \u201cWhile in Charlotte, a friend gave me a pack of three canvases and some paints and said, \u2018I thought you might just want to be creative,\u2019\u201d Runnels recalls. \u201cSo I made three different paintings of these colorful lizards that hung out outside of my house\u2014very random subject matter.<\/p>\n

Afterward, I thought, \u2018I wonder if I could actually sell these?\u2019 I went to the Green Rice Gallery in the NoDa area of Charlotte and they sold two of the three paintings. I was around 24 years old at the time. I was just in shock that people could actually make money off of art! And that\u2019s really where it all began.\u201d<\/p>\n

She balanced her job as a graphic designer with creation of her own art, participating in her first art fair in Charlotte soon after her first paintings sold. At 26, she went on an 11-month long Christian mission trip that visited 11 countries, with service that included helping out at an orphanage in Romania, teaching English in Cambodia and helping women in Thailand who had been trafficked. Throughout the journey, Runnels found herself creating and painting, and keeping a log of photos for inspiration when she returned home. \u201cTo say I was inspired by God, my faith and my experience was an understatement,\u201d she says. \u201cI was one hundred percent convinced when I returned that I should take the leap and just become a full-time artist.\u201d The trip ended in mid-2010 and by 2011 she was creating full-time, embarking on a circuit of art fairs that summer.<\/p>\n

Traveling with her artwork wasn\u2019t easy at first. She remembers a show in 2006 when her unweighted tent blew into a neighboring artist\u2019s tent. \u201cIt broke some of her art, so I paid her the few dollars I had for it,\u201d says Runnels. \u201cAfter that, I went and cried in the porta-potty. Despite this and other not-so-great events, I kept doing art fairs and growing my art business. There were many years traveling, before I got married, when I would sleep in Wal-Mart parking lots to save money on travel expenses while going to art fairs. Now, I\u2019m happy to say, I can easily afford a comfortable hotel room while I\u2019m traveling for my art and I\u2019m exceptionally thankful for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having grown up with church attendance a part of family life, she finds inspiration in Bible verses, especially ones that refer to nature. After the mission trip, she also found herself drawn to trains as subjects since much of the travel was by train. \u201cYou\u2019ll notice a lot of these train scenes, and even my umbrella scenes, have a bit of a dreamy faded look to them,\u201d Runnels says. \u201cThey are meant to have a dream-like nostalgia to them because that\u2019s how I felt half the time I was traveling through these old countries on ancient-looking trains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her work is represented regionally at Art MoB Studios & Marketplace where owner Michele Sparks enjoys the conversations that the paintings invite. \u201cThey have so many different meanings to each person,\u201d Sparks says. \u201cLike the train series\u2014people question, \u2018Is she leaving for something better, or did she just arrive?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Runnels now lives in Augusta, GA, with her husband and two young daughters and still travels the art fair circuit. The pandemic canceled and postponed many events, but Runnels used the time to get her online shop up and running. \u201cNow, I\u2019m grateful for all I\u2019ve been forced to learn and thankful for all the people who have found my work through my website and other means since the pandemic began,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Her pieces combine collage, pattern, texture and layers of acrylic paint. Her most recent series, incorporating florals and birds, is titled A Garden\u2019s Lullaby<\/em>. \u201cMy style has evolved to a place where I\u2019m really starting to feel like a \u2018professional,\u2019 she says. \u201cIn these pieces, as in other work, she incorporates words from sheet music and old books. \u201cI felt using words and phrases in my work could help me tell the meaning behind each work of art,\u201d she says. \u201cIt could also help me tell my story, help others see their own stories in my work and it could be a daily whisper of encouragement and hope to anyone who sees my pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Find Kendra Runnels\u2019 work at Art MoB Studios & Marketplace, in Hendersonville.
