Krystal Allen’s paintings reveal a flawless demonstration of how light & shadow embrace landscape.  This emphasizes the rugged energy of the terrain.  Her technique works whether painting mountains, valleys, or rivers.  Her refined attention to detail allows her to consistently create coherent compositions while presenting nature without exaggerated gestures or romanticism. 

This lends itself to giving the work a raw power, and an opportunity for the viewer to share this sensation through the honest beauty in her work.
