Descended from a long line of artists and craftsmen, Kristin has a family history in highly tactile expressions of creativity. Her grandfather was a furniture maker; her mother is a mixed media artist. Family influences in materials and craftsmanship helped fuel Kristin’s interest in painting. As a result of this interest, in addition to her fine arts work, Kristin obtained her Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design at Virginia Tech. She continues to focus on the exploration of paint and the forms it can take on a surface. Kristin now lives in London, England, where she continues to be inspired by the juxtaposition of man-made and natural influences that are ever-abundant in one of the world’s liveliest cities.
