Kristen runs the K. A. Artist Shop in Athens, Georgia, which she considers her perennial work of art. She spends much of her time in the shop’s service wing photographing fabric pieces, ceramics, and paintings, as well as stretching canvases, preparing custom supply kits, and printing archival reproductions for regional and national artists.

A graduate of the University of Georgia with a degree in Studio Art and a minor in Philosophy, Kristen is a perpetual learner and a devoted lover of color and aesthetics. Her favorite mediums include graphite, oil paint, watercolor, and ink.

Since opening the K. A. Artist Shop in 2014, Kristen has taught numerous classes there and has also led workshops and events at the Cobb Galleria, the Georgia Museum of Art, and the University of Georgia. Always eager to connect with Athens’ creative community, she has participated in a variety of local art-centered events and creativity summits, and has served as a juror for the ATHFest Artist Market and the OCAF Annual Members’ Show.
