When I first met Kristi, I was attracted to her vibrant personality just as much as I was to her incredible works of art. Kristi is a creative visionary, able to tell someone’s entire life story in just one piece of art. I commissioned her to create a special piece for my birthday and am overwhelmed with the number or rave reviews the piece has received. She is truly an exceptional talent!

Kristi helped me to design a portrait of my wife using colorful papers and meaningful photographs from our life. She was very easy to work with and always responsive to my requests. It is one of the most meaningful gifts that my wife has received as it 

captures her spirit and all the people important to her. It is a centerpiece in our home and guests are drawn to it. This piece of art will be passed down to our children and beyond.

I was introduced to Kristi’s unique artwork at the Uptown Art Fair in Minneapolis and was impressed with her technique, amazing attention to detail and the many inspirations that went into each piece of art. My sister and I both purchased art from Kristi that day and then later in the year my company commissioned Kristi to create a very special retirement portrait for the CEO of Hormel. Collaborating with Kristi on the project was a complete joy. When she delivered the piece to BBDO she also gave a talk to the agency explaining her work & process, delighting us all with her infectious energy and lovely Australian accent!

We commissioned Kristi to make something for us that represented our city of Duluth, MN and our event. She created a mind-blowing piece using different Duluth landmark photos from all over the Duluth area. The response was fabulous and her work was truly amazing! We were able to put this piece to work for us on t-shirts, notecards and posters, so the money we raised on sales and advertising far outweighed the money we paid to Kristi in the first place!! Kristi would be one of the first people we now call should the opportunity arise again in our business.

We loved Kristi from the minute we met her. We went to the Edina Art Fair JUST to view her work after seeing her as their featured artist - and she did not disappoint! Kristi is creative, thoughtful, clever and incorporates your life and personalities into her art. She listens intently to what the buyer is interested in seeing, adds her flair and VOILA! A commissioned art piece that is one of a kind of course, and the centerpiece of your collection. We love her, loved working with her, love her creativity, her art, and every time we look at the piece she did for us, we smile! A rare Australian gem, now our United States treasure!
