Hi! I’m Kristine, an LA based, self-taught multidisciplinary artist originally from Chicago. My style blends whimsical realism, symbolic narratives, and creative portraiture through thoughtfully layered composition and color. My work aims to explore the beautiful yet often flawed complexities of the human condition and its relationship with the natural and unnatural world. My passion lies in using art to raise awareness around issues such as mental health, animal rights, social and environmental justice, in hopes of fostering more compassion and connection with nature, ourselves, and each other.

Artist Statement: I believe art can be a bridge that universally connects us and has the power to ignite conversation, inspire change, and offer hope and compassion to ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
