Artist Profile: Misty McNally

Misty McNally

Bio:

After 20 years as a docent at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Misty is launching her own artistic career. Self-taught, she is drawn to the everyday and mundane: stuff in junk drawers, garden vegetables on the counter, vintage family photos, "ugly" city views. Her medium is currently experimentation, but bold acrylics and found objects are often the foundations of her colorful works. She is also a writer, and everything she makes has a little story behind it that's included with the piece.
