Light in the Garden Print

Hello, my name is Alina. I just relocated to West Palm Beach area and looking to establish myself as a local artist. I have lived and worked in Nashville for little over 13 years, during which I have discovered many interests I am passionate abou,t most personal and rewarding is -painting. Working in an art environment, at the Frist Art Museum, have greatly inspired me in many ways. Skye is a self chosen name, which I have intentionally chosen for myself. It represents the sky and heavens above, vast and ever-changing. It came to me when I allowed myself to accept that there are as many opportunities as they are stars in the sky; through the process of soul searching, letting go of fears and doubts –self-made limitations. From that liberating process new ideas and dreams were born, and so did Alina Skye. When I started painting it wasn’t out of casual interest or to adopt a new hobby, it came from an intense desire to somehow project all the various emotions and feelings I was experiencing at that time. I needed an outlet for my creativity. Somehow I wanted to convey my personal experience of life through art. My influences are everything I see, feel and experience as well as the things that I’ve come to understand along the way. My artwork is deeply personal and rewarding to me. Through art I hope to transform a simple perception into something deeper. Symbolism is used to convey ideas that are sometimes overlooked in our everyday busy lives. I hope to inspire others to look at ourselves as more than just a mere physical body, but to uncover the beautiful immortality of spirit that is hidden within us all. From gratitude and deep appreciation of the remarkable miracle of being alive I strive to live each day with intentional love.
