about

I attended The University of Alabama and throughout college worked for an architect and his wife, an art teacher and resident artist, who inspired my interest in painting. I continue to take studio classes both at the University of Alabama and through skilled professionals in the trade. I work as a full-time artist in Tuscaloosa, AL.

Today, I am a full time artist in Tuscaloosa, AL where I live with husband William and dog Winston.

My paintings consist of non-objective work creating interest with experimental texture and creative color combinations. Motivated by travel and natural elements, every place I visit becomes inspiration in forms of light, color, and patterns. I try to collaborate these elements to form abstract, sophisticated compositions.

Kristin Blakeney finds beauty in everything.

Rich texture and selective color work in concert in her paintings. Using a wide variety of mediums, her work is always celebratory by nature

and sophisticated.

“While appreciating the classics, I am a bit more eclectic: mergingstyles and design. Travel is my passion and inspiration. I take pictures and record everything. The human form, the interaction of colors, composition, shadows and hues are all fascinating. Recently I became captured by the yellow and umbers from a field in France. Every place I visit is reflected in my paintings.”

Raised in the beauty and charm of Davidson, NC, she now resides in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with her husband William and dog Winston.
