Inka Essenhigh

Ms. Essenhigh's peculiar drawing style has evolved into a singularly visionary approach. Her painting is tight and illustrative allowing the drawing to play the lead role along with her carefully controlled color compositions. The overall effect is one of mystical surrealism. The mystical take is not the typical shallow new age positivism, but rather a bracing mixture of psychological mythology both dark and light.
