Gestures, color, expression.

In Kristen’s work we see colorful, curious relationships and quirky moments. Observing the figure from both life and collected reference material, her work is often a collage of ideas that could imply a dialogue, or at times evoke quiet or nostalgic moments. Kristen works both large scale and small, painting or drawing.
