A Northwest native, Kristen grew up in Portland, OR and moved to Seattle to attend college. She graduated from the University of Washington in 1998 with a Bachelors degree in Fine Art, painting. As a massage therapist and artist, Kristen's work often references the realities of being human as experienced through our bodies, hearts and minds. Themes of nature, body and spirit predominate Kristen's work in a covert effort to find those unknown truths that connect, rather than divide, all of humanity despite our age, gender or place in life. Her process is intuitive, reactive, visceral and playful: the process dictates the outcome which is rarely, if ever, known in advance. Kristen has recently emerged in the Seattle art scene taking part in multiple group and solo shows around the city. |
