Kristine was raised in Cache Valley, Utah. After

some art education and exploration of different

media for years, she give herself to watercolors. She

developed her own impressionistic style,

She said:

"When I paint I aim for the essence of design

and not for photographic report.  It take courage

to not paint things as they actually are. Since

childhood we all been taught to draw things as they

appear. So, it was difficult to make the transition

from drawing to painting the essence  of

something.......... your own unique interpretation

of the subject”.

“I love watercolors!"
