"Creativity Takes Courage" - Henri Matisse

I am a self-taught artist. From as early as I can remember, I loved art. I could always be found with a pencil or paintbrush in my hand, drawing on walls and anything else I could find. Over the years, I would practice drawing by copying the works of artists I admired. I have always been passionate about the environment and the outdoors and laid down my pencils and sketchbooks to obtain a BSc. in Environmental & Conservation Science from the University of Alberta.  After university finished I couldn't forget how full of joy creating artwork made me feel.  I followed my heart and started painting the beauty around me. It is truly something I was created to do and it fills me with joy and excitement to watch each painting unfold. I paint what I find beautiful or interesting, not wanting to be limited in my work I prefer to be free to explore and paint whatever makes me happy. 

For me painting is not just about art, it is about Glorifying God through my work and being a blessing to others with the talent He gave me. I am so thankful for all that He has done for me and the opportunity to spread the joy in my artwork with my clients.

Client Feedback:

I couldn't be happier with the painting I commissioned from Kristen in December 2020. It was obvious right from the start that Kristen's main priority was to capture my family home with integrity and authenticity. I sent her several pictures, and then we emailed back and forth discussing the finer details around elements such as the colour of the sky, house positioning on the canvas, and the optimal size of the painting. Kristen was open to feedback and touched base with me throughout the process to ensure that we were still on the same page. The care and attention to detail that Kristen put into each and every element of this piece is obvious in the finished artwork that captures the essence of our home beautifully. "       - J.
