About Analise

Analise Maggio Kjensrud is a Santa Barbara-based artist specializing in acrylic landscapes (and seascapes), predominantly of the coasts of California. Her late grandmother and mother are both artists, though Analise didn't begin painting until she was a college student studying abroad in Italy. There she took an art class which she mostly used as an excuse to explore Florence while 'attempting to paint it.' Twelve years, a marriage and two children later, Kjensrud purchased an easel and some paints and began painting canvases - teaching herself and honing her style, and cherishing the small respite it gave her from her busy life of raising two small children.
