Kristen Drozdowski (she/they) 

Ypsilanti, Michigan

Kristen’s painting practice includes collaboration with natural materials such as earth pigments and plant dyes, non-toxic binders and raw, unprimed surfaces. Using paints they create mindfully and patiently from these materials, their whole practice from start to finish is a meditation on deep relationship, observing as subtle experiences such as fleeting emotions and memories are brought into into physical form. Sometimes, non-verbal communication is the strongest form of channeling. Kristen considers their art not abstract, but representational. A peaceful visual language of simple shapes and colors is expressed in each one of Kristen’s paintings, emerging through spontaneity, trust, and intuition. Their process is most influenced by spiritual connections between earth, water, light, body, and mind.
