The desire to understand spirituality and its transformational power motivates my work. My objective is to magnify nature beyond its literal meaning to explore the relationship between nature and spirituality.

Xan Sinclair Koonce was born and raised in West Texas where the only vivid color that permeated the bleak landscape was the endless blue sky. Today, she resides in the historical district of McKinney, Texas where she works full time in her home art studio and enjoys the company of her grandchildren. While caring for her family and working as a professional event planner at Southwestern University, she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from Southwestern University, the oldest institution of higher education in Texas.

Xan’s interest is taking the beauty she sees and abstracting it to gain greater insight. Once inspired, she unapologetically applies seductive and radiant colors to her paintings as an expression of her growth, strength, control and endurance. As she paints, her primary concern is conveying a sensual experience through color, line and composition.

She is an artist who embodies the synthesis of abstract expressionism with the palette of Matisse. It is precisely this fusion of spontaneity and color that has produced a rich and expressive body of work.

All of her artistic pursuits stem from a passion for beauty and a reverence for the power that beauty has to transform life.

I want my art to be a force for all that is positive, inspiring and beautiful.
