Art

Hi! My name is Krista ("Krisi," "Mac"). I'm a quiet, 30-something self-taught artist from Canada. I am a mother of 3 incredible children and 2 cats. I work as a Case Manager for individuals with developmental disabilities and I occasionally support families as a postpartum doula. And when time and energy allows, I create!

​

My art is inspired by the world around and inside me; wildlife, landscapes, dreamscapes, and geek culture are themes I paint often. Most recently, I have been so inspired by my own postpartum journey and the journeys of the families I support and have created pieces that represent aspects of the postpartum experience.

​

My aspiration is to become an art therapist, where I walk alongside others to address their struggles using art as a major component of healing. Art has been such a powerful tool in my own recovery journey (postpartum healing, surviving the deaths of loved ones, finding my way in life), and I would love to show others how to utilize art and expression to help them through their own journeys.
