Kristine is a professional artist inspired by the Canadian landscape. She went to school for Forestry and working outdoors nurtured her love for appreciating nature. Being creative has always been an important part of her life. The camera and then the paint brush became her creative outlet.   Entering competitions, workshops and showing her work at galleries has brought growth and inspiration to her career as an artist. Her stylized paintings play with representative forms in the landscape, she slightly abstracts the forms in nature, creating her own style.  Kristine lives with her family in Gray Creek on Kootenay Lake, BC.
