ART SPACE Kortny Dylewski a.k.a. Red Dirt Rosie
Kortny Dylewski is an Oklahoma artist that was born and raised in Ponca City; which she still calls home and is very proud to be a part of this community. She credits her love of art to her grade school and high school art teachers who saw her raw talent and pushed her to explore her creativity. She not only paints but is a singer, poet, musician, radio D.J. and a true creative soul. Kortny’s paintings come to life through every brush stoke of bright color that she places on each canvas. The vibrant colors in her paintings are not near as striking as Red

Dirt Rosie’s personality. Kortny describes herself as awkward and an introvert. However, I have to disagree. This being our first meeting I thought there might be some awkwardness, but I did not feel that at all. I felt like I had known her for years and was just catching up with an old friend. I truly enjoyed talking to Kortny Dylewski in her new studio space. The space is beautiful, and the natural light is something that every artist dreams of having in their own studio. Who are the artists that influenced you the most?
