Abstract art as a practice of attention.

I'm Kristen, an abstract painter in Bend, Oregon.

Everything here comes from one practice: paying attention until something alive shows up.

It that happens on a trail in the high desert, moving fast through juniper and dust.

It happens in the studio, where forms gather and layer until they find their own balance.

It’s at the edge of sleep, in deep stillness, images arrive on their own.

This is my world. Thank you for being here.
