'Shivelight'

Kristy Kensinger – Artist Statement:

I am an artist based in Colorado. I have spent 10+ years as a freelance graphic designer and studied at the University of Colorado, Boulder graduating with a B.A. in Fine Arts and Art History with an emphasis on Digital Art.

Since a young age, I traveled across the nation and globe. My travels sparked an internal passion in me that will never subside. Travel both energizes and humbles. When not on the go, I find myself continually researching different cultures. The textiles, patterns, cuisine, and artisans worldwide inspire my artwork and teaching. I love the lessons and unpredictability that travel brings to my life. Each experience is reflected in my artwork.

I can typically be found with messy hair, paint splattered on my clothes, and walking barefoot. I love field trips and adventures with my two kids Elle and Sterling, creating in my studio, time alone to read, playing outside, yoga, and traveling (to name a few). I hope to forever be a student of the world. I started this journey as a means to expand my horizons and connect to others who share similar passions.
