Sprinkle's paintings fall into two categories: narrative paintings that use mainly animals to suggest stories and allude to symbolic relationships, and landscape images that serve as a record of the artist's travels. Not satisfied with a casual pursuit of painting, Sprinkle earned Master's and Ph.D. degrees from the College of William and Mary in order to understand what art is and does.
