Kristina is a Kamloops based visual artist and graduate of the BFA program at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). Her areas of focus include photography, sculpture, and etching/printmaking. Kristina is interested in themes of adventure, history, self identity and the studying/observing of the natural world around us. She considers herself a "self proclaimed Romantic" in the traditional sense of the term. 

​

In 2012/2013 Kristina became interested in historic photographic processes and began researching wet-plate collodion photography. The Ocean Collodion Project, which involved setting up a collodion darkroom on a 12 foot fibreglass rowboat, The Silver Lady was the result of this study into past photographic practices and opened up further desire to explore and study the natural world in more details both on and off of the water. 

​

For many years after completing her degree in Visual Arts, Kristina branched out (plant pun) into the different but related word of landscaping and horticulture. After many years of plant-care and learning how to grow and nurture things Kristina began a homesteading adventure learning techniques for growing food, raising chickens, preserving harvests and more. Today she blends together her passions and tries to mash them into a world where digital everything is taking over and most people seem to be forgetting which end of the shovel to use let alone how to sustain their lives.
