Kristin is a multi-media artist living in the Pacific Northwest. She earned her MFA in Fiber/Textiles in 1996 and her BA in Fine Art-Drawing in 1993 at Southern Illinois University. She also studied painting at Hospitalfield House, a 13th C. Studio Arts Centre in Scotland, and studied traditional textile dyeing, washi hand papermaking and wood-fired ceramics in Japan and South Korea. She has worked in a range of media, including drawing, painting, textile dyeing and printing using natural plant dyes, paper pulp painting, ceramics and photography, and in 2001 began combining aspects of all into encaustic painting. She has exhibited her work locally, nationally and in Nakajo, Japan. Her encaustic paintings were juried into the first 2007 Annual Encaustic Conference exhibition as well as this year's 2009 Conference show at 301 Gallery at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts. Her blog KSL STUDIO is her art studio journal of recent work, sketchbook drawings and travel photos that together explore her creative process.

I have always been inspired to create work that deals with extracting the essence of some aspect of nature. My current body of work titled INSIDE OUT is part of an ongoing series examining origins and connections. Much of my imagery is derived from aspects of trees, roots, veins, cells, knots, and twisting rope to address the ideas of being anchored, tied or firmly fastened to suggest strength, lifeline, vitality, continuum, nourishment and ancestral links. My process of incorporating rope, thread, string, fabric, ink and graphite with encaustic paint combines my drawing sensibilities with visual depth utilizing the inherent sculptural qualities of wax.

ARTIST QUOTES
"The creative process is a cocktail of instinct, skill, culture and a highly creative feverishness" Francis Bacon
"I do not literally paint that table, but the emotion it produces upon me." Henri Matisse
"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I am not painting. It's in the subconscious." Diego Rivera
"It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to....the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures." Vincent Van Gogh
"Every good painter paints what he is....." Jackson Pollock
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place; from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web." Pablo Picasso
"Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things..." Edgar Degas
"The essence of drawing is the line exploring space." Andy Goldsworthy
"A line is a dot that went for a walk." Paul Klee
"I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else." Pablo Picasso
"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks." Simonides (500 B.C.)
"Don't play what's there, play what's not there." Miles Davis
"Great art picks up where nature ends." Marc Chagall
"The attitude that nature is chaotic, and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves." Willem de Kooning
