Hi, I'm Kristy!
​I'm an artist and graphic designer, passionate about creating art that feels like the magic of childhood...playful and messy, full of love and kindness. My specialties are painting, digital art, and working with mixed media and clay.
​​
Somewhere within our patchwork of everyday moments lives a story filled with joy, challenges, and growth. Inspired by those moments, nature, animals, love, and kind words, I like to create art that is playful and brings joy and encouragement.
As a child, I loved drawing and creating characters from found objects. My creativity led me to a career in Graphic Design. When my kids were young, I chose to be a stay-at-home mom. We spent our days playing and reading stories (which often featured animals), which inspired me to begin illustrating and creating quirky characters of my own. ​

About my collections:
​
Animal Art and Sculptures
It all started with watercolor animals. Inspired by the many whimsically illustrated children's books I read with my children, I began painting my own characters. I made them into prints and stationery and began selling at local handmade markets and on Etsy. Soon after, I started making animals with air-dry clay.

Encouraging Words
I'm currently working on a collection of colorful art featuring encouraging words.​​
Handcrafted Hearts
I have been sculpting for a few years now and love to make handcrafted clay hearts. I make them using air-dry clay, some with messages and distressed. I then paint them with layers of acrylic. They have a wire on the back to hang on the wall. ​​
