Kristin PetersonKristin Peterson is a third generation artist, originally from South Dakota, now residing close to the South Dakota border in Minnesota. Kristin’s creative passion is inspired and supported by her husband and three children, all who encourage, critique, and promote her work.Kristin is always exploring and expanding the creative depths of acrylic paint. She very much enjoys vintage collage work and mixed media. Kristin loves color and things that have a love-worn comfortable feeling-like an old favorite pair of jeans-coffee stained, patched, painted and well loved. She wants her art to project feeling and make people feel good while looking at it. Her paintings contain vibrance mixed with a little funk, which is sprinkled with discreet sensibility. Her style is meant to make you ponder and smile, just as she does as she paints and creates. “Make your Mark” On the anniversary of being a manager at my “big girl job” I was a given a book called The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. My “little girl” artist, however, took the concept of the book and ran with it, creating a series of “Make Your Mark” paintings. The first few were small 6” x 8” paintings for our three kids, painted in their favorite colors. I painted great parental words of wisdom on three sides of the paintings such as: “be true to yourself” for our youngest, “work hard” for our middle child, and “give your all” for our oldest. The paintings are meant to inspire, challenge, and dare one to create, do, and think beyond what is expected. “Make Your Mark” in your own life and you may become an inspiration to others.
