Bio

Krystle Stevenson (b. 1984) was always drawn to the creative life, making art in stolen moments, but took a winding path to pursue it professionally. A path that started out with an MSA from the University of Connecticut School of Business, and eventually found its way toward curiosity, exploration, and light. She dedicated herself to creating fine art full time in 2020 and has been cultivating her studio art practice since.

She lives and works in Connecticut with her husband, three sons, and one very affectionate rescue dog. She is deeply connected to and inspired by the land she lives on. She grows native pollinator and vegetable gardens, and grows several types of seasonal New England fruits. She hopes to pass on her connection to nature through her fine art pieces.

Artist Statement

My work is inspired by nature as I experience it with all of my senses. The natural world is enchanting and wonder-filled. With acrylic and watercolor, I translate these feelings into fine art. Each painting is an expression of the energy and vibrancy found in the land, sea, sky, and flora that surround us.

My art practice is based on exploration, curiosity, and finding a meditative flow state that allows art to pass through me onto the page. I have learned to let my intuition guide me - the way my body moves, the marks I make, the colors I choose. In this way, my work blends into play.

When you first see my paintings, they’re meant to evoke a sense of lightness, wonder, and hope. My aim is to encourage viewers to return and engage in conversations—whether with others or through self-reflection—about our interdependencies with nature and each other.
