This painting exhibit has been inspired by the simple beauty of our island home. The way light streaks long over the afternoon fields, purple shadows on snow and exuberant cherry blossoms in spring all help to inform these works. Sun setting over water holds brilliance and mystery as this daily transition can bring depth and insight to the changes in our own lives. Bringing the calm of a Great Pond afternoon or the soft pinks of a misty dawn to the canvas offers ease to the observing eye and peace to the heart.
Kanta Lipsky is an artist, illustrator and teacher.
As a painter, Kanta 
gravitates to the serenity of Vineyard landscapes. The long beaches, the stunning sunsets melting into the waters of Aquinnah, the fresh greens of the West Tisbury fields all offer a window into that feeling of balance and harmony that is so nourishing to the heart and the eye. She wrote and illustrated the children’s book “Pinkletink the Froggie” in 2023. She also teaches Chi Kung in her classes called “Balance,” bringing an energizing calm to all who practice them.
She holds a Master’s Degree in Expressive Therapy and Holistic Studies from Lesley University and loves encouraging art in all forms. She taught Yoga for 20 years and has been a massage therapist for decades.
Kanta has been painting en plein air for over 10 years, showing at the Old Sculpin Gallery, Galaxy Gallery, Art in Bloom at the MV Garden Club, and Featherstone Center for the Arts. She has had solo shows at the Vineyard Playhouse and the West Tisbury Free Public Library.
Her work can be seen at Tending Joy at 697 State Road in West Tisbury or by private appointment at her West Tisbury studio.
