Kristen’s work is an exploration of the quiet dialogue between the external landscape and the internal emotional world. Through intuitive mark-making, layered textures, and atmospheric color, she creates abstracted landscapes that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with a sense of belonging. Drawing inspiration from familiar forms—tree lines, open skies, distant horizons—her paintings serve as pathways back to the feelings and memories that stir beneath the surface.

Kristen’s process is deeply rooted in slowing down and allowing intuition to lead. Working in layers, she surrenders control, letting each mark and gesture respond to the evolving composition. Her materials—acrylics, water, and pencils—become tools for capturing not just the shifting scenery of the physical world, but the emotional landscapes that unfold within.

At the heart of her practice is a desire to create space for reflection and healing. Each piece offers an invitation to wander, to breathe deeply, and to find comfort in the journey—whether that journey is a physical return home or an inward path toward stillness and self-connection. Kristen’s work stands as a gentle reminder that home is not just a place, but a feeling we carry within us.
