Reviews from clients! ❤️

  • "Kristin painted a commissioned piece of our late cat Sourpatch. We absolutely loved the fished result. We asked her to take some artistic liberties with the design and she nailed it. The painting looks just like Sourpatch and makes us so happy when we look at it. Thank you for giving us a beautiful memento to remember Sourpatch forever."

  • "Kristin took an abstract idea with a little guidance from two pictures and merged them into the perfect painting. The detail is fabulous and multiple people have commented that it looks like a photo until you get close to see the brush marks."

    Nate Moorey

  • "I love the two paintings Kristin so beautifully created. She depicted the two engagements perfectly. Each one had a different setting but both captured the moment. The newlyweds love their portraits and will keep them as a treasure for decades to come."

  • "The "Lobster Pot" painting truly captured the essence of that great restaurant in Provincetown on Cape Cod. I gave it as a gift to my daughter and son in law. Every time I pass it, it brings back the best memories of our trip."

I paint on both canvas, and wood slices! Read below to find out more.

INFO FOR PAINTINGS ON CANVASES:  

  • Canvases are a stretched cotton canvas with a traditional profile.

  • I prime each canvas with 1-2 layers of gesso to create a smoother surface

  • Paintings are varnished to protect from aging colors. 

  • Paintings do not come framed. I carry the colors of the painting onto the sides of the canvas, which creates an attractive effect that looks good right on your wall, no frame required!

INFO FOR PAINTINGS ON WOOD SLICES: 

  • I have wood slices in various different sizes. Pricing will be about the same for slices comparable to the listed canvas sizes. However, obviously, the wood slices are not exactly the same size as the canvases. The prices provided just give a good gauge of what can be expected for a wood slice of similar size. 

  • If you are interested in a wood slice painting, I will send you pictures, measurements, and quoted prices of available slices I have. If I don’t have a size or style cut that you are looking for, and if I have logs that have not already been cut, I can try to make a custom slice for you.

  • Each wood slice is finished with 2-3 coatings of lacquer to protect the wood from moisture, and to hold together the lovely textures of bark. The painted face has a layer of varnish to protect from aging colors.

  • If you would like to make one of the smaller wood slices an ornament, I can attach a hook with string for hanging.

  • For larger slices, I can attach a picture hanging bracket on the back. 

  • The wood is sourced from my family’s property in Blue Ridge, GA!
