My name is Kristine, and to understand my artist journey I take you back to my childhood. I discovered art as a child, and immediately felt a pull to creating with my hands. What I didn't know at the time was the alchemy and beauty from chaos I was creating. In my childhood I was born with a birth defect, my dad had a traumatic injury, and I was raised under the poverty line. I lacked resources, or any idea that an art world existed from our small home in Spokane, but I did know I was born to create and use my imagination.
In 2016, I graduated from SPU with an art degree and left the Seattle area one year later to begin a new world in Bend. The high desert landscape, bright warming sun and lifestyle called me. Today I work full-time in my artist practice making art daily in my studio. Art is my diary, story and expression of the subconscious. I am overjoyed to bring this art to life. My hope is that my work infuses your day with joy and love.
