Introduction

Hello there!

My name is Krista. And seriously, this is the best picture I have. They say first impressions are the most important. But this is me. No make-up. No editing..ok, well maybe a little editing. I always seem to be the one taking the pictures and never in them. Do you have the same problem?...anyway. This is my youngest, Alison. She's 4 and this was taken at her pre-school Christmas Program. I will have to get a better mug shot for you soon. Until then, this is the best I can do.

I am a wife to a patient husband and mother to 4 wonderful children. I love art in all forms...sewing, painting, drawing, writing. I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I believe that art is an expression of yourself. I am not perfect, therefore my art is not perfect. I LOVE imperfection.  Your art does not have to mean anything to anyone else...and sometimes, it doesn't even have to mean anything to you. Art can be a very public expression and, at times, a very private one. I have found that the best lessons I've learned have been through mistakes. Kind of like dating before you get married. It's easier to know what you want in a partner, if you know what you don't want. I also love sharing art. I love sharing the lessons I've learned and I love, love, love inspiring people to do their own art. So please, subscribe to my blog and join me in an adventure in art....where we both can learn along the way.
