Kristin was raised in Davidson, NC but currently resides in Tuscaloosa, AL with her husband and two young children.

In connection with many abstract expressionism painters, my work is very much an emotional process. I come to a blank canvas with a feeling or thought about what I would like to create but it’s all very spontaneous in its outward projection. I choose to go layer by layer, often times mixing mediums, until I'm satisfied. Each painting has layers of under paintings  that add a depth to the final composition. I enjoy mixing mediums - primarily oil paints, wax and charcoal to create my paintings.
