KRYSSY BYRNE
Born and raised in Poland, I later moved to the UK, where I found the freedom to pursue my passion for art. Life took me on a journey across continents—from raising a family in the UK to an inspiring artistic chapter in Australia, where I studied under renowned artist David Chen, BAFA. Now back in the UK, I paint full-time in my Egham studio.
My work is deeply personal, drawn from treasured memories and my own reference photographs. Influenced by French Impressionism, I blend bold brushstrokes, rich textures, and expressive movement to create visual stories—transforming reality while preserving its essence. While oils remain my primary medium, I also explore acrylic abstract and mixed media, allowing me to push creative boundaries and experiment with new forms of expression.
For me, art is about emotion, connection, and leaving a meaningful imprint on the world. I invite you to explore my work and see what speaks to you.
It has been a joy to discover my latent ability to paint!
My other lifetime passion is playing golf.
