To bring about a change in the light and energy of a space, that is the joy of the colorful medium of soft pastel painting. Kristine has been on an artistic journey since childhood. Inspired by the beautiful artwork at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, she enrolled earning a BFA in Illustration from USF. Her work has been featured in magazines, advertisements, theaters, corporate identity packages and a variety of artistic endeavors including photography, children’s illustration, wedding and pet portraiture. One of her most exciting commissions was for Ed King, the guitarist and inspiration for the song “Sweet Home Alabama” painted live in Tennessee. In 2020, she dedicated herself to pastel painting.
