About Reyna sunshine/kr

**Reyna Sunshine/KR** is an Indianapolis native with a lifelong passion for art. Some of her earliest memories are filled with the scent of mineral spirits, watching her grandmother Della paint landscapes, and enjoying Bob Ross on PBS before nap time. As a teenager, Reyna loved to draw, often seen carrying her sketchbook or doodling on her desk in class, though she was protective of her artwork and rarely shared it with others.

In 2004, Reyna briefly attended The Art Institute of Philadelphia but had to leave due to the financial strain of being a young single mother. After exploring various jobs, she discovered a talent for tattooing. Over several years of self-teaching, she built a reputation as one of Indianapolis's leading tattoo artists. Alongside tattooing, Reyna has dabbled in various art forms, including lampworking, stained glass, and painting. Her stained glass works are featured in several local residences and churches. However, her heart has always remained in the fine arts.

In 2023, Reyna decided to gradually shift away from tattooing to focus more on painting and pursue her dream of becoming a full-time fine artist. Entirely self-taught, Reyna has been creating art throughout her life and has worked professionally for nearly 20 years. As of 2023, her primary medium is oil painting, although she still occasionally works with acrylics. Through her current work, she aims to capture and communicate the deep emotional struggles many women face in silence, fostering connection and visibility for those who feel isolated in their battles.
