The Winter-ing series

This year I am working on a series of seasonal paintings that I hope to infuse with the energy of each change in season. My heart and soul have gone into these paintings. I hope you enjoy them!

Winter-ing is a series rooted in stillness, restraint, and quiet endurance. It explores winter as a season of going inward, where growth is imperceptible. Through muted palettes and softened forms, this series is meant to reflect a time of rest and reckoning. It is the pause before renewal, and the strength in waiting and slowly planning for the next growing season. It is the beauty of what is held rather than shown. It is about the nutrients received before a season of giving.

Winter-ing invites the viewer to slow down, sit with uncertainty, and recognize rest as an active, essential force.

About Me

Thank you for being here! My name is Whitney Naomi Ostebo. And I would love to paint something beautiful for you. A little bit about me…

I was afforded many unique opportunities in my early years that gave me a wide range of views of the human experience.

In large part because of this, I continue to enjoy learning about the individual and collective human experience. And I seek to honor and explore these complexities in my art through colorful impressionism and spiritual themes.

My work looks to nature as both teacher and witness to the human experience. In a world shaped by speed, noise, and human certainty, I turn toward the quiet intelligence embedded in landscapes, plants, weather, and natural rhythms.

Nature does not explain itself, yet it holds solutions refined over millennia—systems of balance, resilience, decay, and renewal.


Creating art is a way I entertain the uncertainties of life as manifestation of a bigger creative, loving life force, a knowable and unknowable God that flows through all living things, weaving an interconnected web, inspiring to create.

Ultimately, my art is an invitation to slow down and remember our place within something far older and far wiser than ourselves.

Much love,

Whitney
