Our spring front cover painting, “Flower Crown IV,” was created by Kendall Kirk Singleton. Singleton has been passionate about painting since she could hold a paintbrush, with art consistently being a highlight of her school days.Kendall graduated from Mississippi State University in May of 2015, and although she didn’t realize the reality of being a painter full-time, her love for art grew into a full-time job. 

Born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi, she now lives in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, with her husband. She opened her studio there at the beginning of 2018, where she works and ships art to homes nationwide. Her art has been featured in various publications and blogs across the South and was chosen to be on the cover of a novel in 2020. 

Kendall primarily works with a palette knife and oil paints for her subjects. Inspired by light and color, her goal is to create unique and fresh art that her collectors will love for years to come. She loves how a piece of art can complete a room and constantly remind you of something you love.
