Clocking Back In

Winner of the 2019 1st Annual Buda Art Brawl this past October, we celebrate Gena Destri's accomplishments in watercolors, acrylics, and oils.

Come wander through the gallery, and get whisked away by her vibrant yet soothing paintings that often reflect natural landscapes, skies, flora, and landmarks. 

Live music by guitarist and singer, Leonard Cohn.

(Art openings at the Inspired Minds Gallery are always free and open to the public.)

Artist Bio:

"In my art, I strive to solve riddles encountered in life through painting rough, abstracted memories, then fine-tuning them with playful lines, adding depth and focus to the simplest of paintings. I am deeply connected to faith and nature in my artwork - you can look for spiritual themes in many of my pieces.

I have been an Austin artist since the winter of 2006 – painting away at Painting With a Twist since 2010 and organizing after school art clubs and workshops for elementary-aged kids for the last several years. After earning my BFA in Studio Art from Oklahoma Baptist University in 2006, I met and married my husband and moved right into the fulfilling career of motherhood. When not in my home art studio, I now spend my time cultivating a love of exploration with my two small children and making coffee and kombucha with my husband."
