ABOUT
Hello, I'm Kristen, a freelance Artist, Illustrator and Graphic designer from the interior of British Columbia in the Okanagan Valley. I specialize in contemporary/abstract, Fine Art and mixed media illustrations and paintings. In most of my work you will find my signature gold foil detailing.
My work aims to capture and evoke the essence of movement, fluidity, empowerment, inner calm and the play between the duality in shadow & light in a combination of highly detailed illustrations and simplistic brush strokes with flowing abstract shapes. I am a trained Graphic Designer and have over fifteen years' experience working in branding design, illustration, fabric & pattern design, pre-press print and on the Web. My work includes clients such as Best Version Media, Quails' Gate Winery, Gypsy Soul Designs, Shakti Jewelery, Canadian Vintners Association, Ballet Kelowna, and many more awesome clients throughout North America and the world.

The Other Stuff In my spare time I like to read as many blogs as I can to keep up with industry events and trending technologies. As well as painting and creating both digital & hand drawn artwork. Also, I love to learn anyway I can, by reading books, taking online classes and joining discussions. Being a part of my community and working with local businesses is of great value to me - you never know what brilliant and creative fellow minds you will get to collaborate with. I just want to create beautiful things - let me create something beautiful for you.
