resonance

These four pieces, belonging to the body of work resonance, explore the profound connection between women and the natural world. Each piece serves as a visual narrative, intertwining the essence of femininity with elements of nature found and appreciated in Kristin’s day-to-day life. Through vibrant yet earthy colors and silhouetted figures built from thick impasto strokes, Kristin aims to capture the strength, resilience, and nurturing spirit of women, while preserving a degree of mystery. The series invites viewers to reflect on how women, like nature, embody beauty, vulnerability, and power—ultimately celebrating their roles as caretakers of both life and the earth.

Much of Kristin’s previous work is largely figurative. With these pieces, she wanted to experiment by stripping the figures back to vague shapes and streaks of color. By returning these forms to a more raw, organic expression, she seeks to deepen her understanding of their origins and foundations, creating a platform for further exploration in both ambiguous and figurative directions.

resonance speaks to the deep, often unspoken harmony between women and nature. Just as resonance in sound is created when one body causes another to vibrate in sympathy, these works explore how the essence of nature and the feminine spirit respond to one another, mirroring strength, tenderness, and transformation. To resonate is not only to feel, but to be moved—and this series invites that shared, intuitive response.
