Kristine (& Jazz)
Mother, artist, adventurer…
and crazy dog lady.
My life always revolved around being outside.
As a child 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 a constant muse providing both inspiration and perspective to my daily life.
Through recent life events with grief that perspective and connection is even more necessary.
I create images to bring that connection with the cosmos home for everyone to experience
