Kristine
Mother, artist, educator, adventurer
My life has revolved around being outside.
Growing up our family didn’t have much materially, we lived with food insecurity and struggled to make ends meet.
However, I grew up in a beautiful place surrounded by nature.
The good days, the bad days, the endlessly long days of summer that only exist to a child – I spent them all outside, exploring the forests and fields of my home.
Nature is my refuge.
I realized how vital that connection to nature was when I grew up, moved to “the city” and lost easy access to it.
I found that connection again in creating photographs of beautiful landscapes under the stars (oh, and I moved the heck out of the city 😂 )
The silence at night is a balm to my busy, mother of 2 young kids, soul.
The stars are my constant companion, providing both inspiration and perspective.
My photography explores the connection of the terrestrial with the celestial and transforms it into a 2D object that can be experienced by anyone, anywhere.
