Hi, I'm Kryssa...

Art has been a constant in my life, grounding me through seasons of change. I earned my Bachelor of Education with a major in Art and a minor in Spanish before becoming both a teacher and a mother by the age of 26. For years, I carried the sense of always catching up, until learning that my experiences with undiagnosed ADHD, Autism, and CPTSD had profoundly shaped my path.

After burning out during the pandemic, creativity became a way back to myself. So I took the opportunity to sell my artwork and I found community and more understanding of myself through this process.

You will see past, present and future art pieces and concepts I've either had stowed away, hanging up on my walls or are new creations. My artwork has evolved many times over the years with blends of contemporary and abstract elements while drawing inspiration from nature, mythology, and the human form. Through layered colour, texture, and line, I explore multiple forms of media with a focus on painting. Each piece becomes a visual map of my intuition, feelings, expression and connection.

My website is a journey through my mind and currently under updates so stay tuned and see what I have planned! You can sign up for my mailing list and l promise I won't spam you, I need to figure out how it works first!

Workshop info coming soon!
