Art Beat with Tracy Kleinstecker
After a journey through different art forms, Klinesteker found her passion in pastels. She explores a wide range of styles within the medium, from the exquisite detail of realism to the bright splashes of the abstract.
Klinesteker found her calling in 2012 when she took a class in pastel painting at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA).(P) “It was a beginning class,” Klinesteker says. “I walked in and (the instructor) had three or four tables laid out with pastels on all of them, and the colors just hit me in the face! And the feeling of using the pastel on the paper and the color! and I absolutely fell in love with the medium.”
