Hi, I’m Kristen

I’m an artist and creative guide based in Bend, Oregon. I’ve been making art since childhood and well into my adult life via some twists and turns. My path has taken me from design and marketing to cycling and yoga, but everything has led back to creativity as the thread running through it all.

When I discovered Carl Jung’s artwork and methods, it gave me language for what I had always known intuitively: that the psyche speaks in images, and that imagination is a doorway into deeper truth. Today, I guide others into their own creative process through dreams, symbols, and imaginative art.

  • "Kristen's course Drawing For Emotional Expression is great for anybody who wants to learn more about themselves creatively. It is thoughtful, well written, and healing if applied."

  • "Kristen's meditation was like an inner spa and touched me deeply. Thank you!

    - Heidi M.

  • "If you want to find out what you are made of and have someone working with you to figure it out, Kristen will be your sounding board, advisor, and share in the joy of your success."

    -Rebecca F.

  • "Kristen’s coaching has been a revelation. She’s a zen killer: preternaturally calm, but unwavering in her determination to see you succeed in the face of whatever’s being thrown at you."

    -Sarah E.

“Our passing through this earth is so absurd and fleeting, that it calms me to know that I have been authentic; that I have managed to be more like myself as much as I could.”

Frida Khalo
