My Story is Art – I’m Kristy, the Painter

Hi Friends, I’m Kristy, the painter. It’s been such a long while since I (re)introduced myself here.  We’ve seen an influx of new readers and followers across our social media existence so I decided it was high time to say hello and let you know a bit more about me, circa 2015!  Okay, friends, I’m […]

My Story is Art – Art at the Greenbrier

If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I’ve been traveling…the world, quite literally these days.  This year has given an out pouring of imperfectly timed blessings.  From signing two book contracts, one of which I only had 5 weeks to complete and beginning the adoption process to traveling near and far for book #2 […]

My Story is Art – Our Journey to Baby II

Well nothing is official until it appears on a blog…right?  No… just kidding but I did think it was high time I share the joyful news of our adoption match.  Friends if you haven’t noticed by now, I’m an open book.  My business is so intricately intertwined with my heart and soul, it is hard […]

My Story is Art – Brush Marker Peony Pattern

I’ve been doing a lot of late nights these days.  Not sure if I’m trying to pump myself up for sleepless baby nights or what but less sleep has been my mantra as of late.  Something about the quiet of the house when you’re the only one awake is sacred in a way, like you […]

Press – Words to Love By for Snippet and Ink

I was asked to create a series of artwork by our friends at Snippet and Ink.  Inspired by poignant love quotes I developed five new watercolor patterns to express the words of each poet. {Such an honor to be part of Words to Love By for Snippet and Ink!} Notice I also tried my hand […]

My Story is Art – An Artist at The Greenbrier

The Greenbrier in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia was a dream come true.  Just as I imagined, stepping through the doors of the grand entrance was much like stepping back in time.  As An Artist at The Greenbrier I felt like I was walking hallowed halls.  Grand lives had been lived in these spaces and […]

My Story is Art – An Artist’s Book

If you follow me on Instagram, you may already know my big news.  For the last year or so I’ve been writing a book pitch and soon after I finally got up the courage to submit it to publishers, I had a contract!  It’s long been my dream to author a book.  I decided that […]

My Story is Art – On Team

Wanted to take some time today to introduce you with the Momental team.  It’s hard to put into words what they mean to me, but for us the word team doesn’t quite cut it.  Recently I gathered everyone for a afternoon retreat to celebrate,  just because.  Our team is a group of dynamic women and […]

My Story is Art – On Heart

Been thinking a lot about heart lately.  Not the actual beating organ mind you, but the strength and fierceness we seem to equate with the heart.  Somewhere between happiness, fear and folly comes our heart of hearts, our gut and instinct, our spirit – all wrapped up into one simple word we use almost everyday.  […]

My Story is Art – The Dahlia Garden, Breathing and Painting with Three Palettes

Summer is in full swing and somehow this year Summer seems that much sweeter.  As many of you know we had an insane Spring working with tons of amazing couples including Sean Parker and Alexandra Lenas.  Not taking many breaks for the better part of this year I’ve just now begun settling into to a […]
