Kristen has been making art since her youth, spent partly in Ohio and Virginia. She recently graduated from the University of Vermont summa cum laude with degrees in Psychology and Studio Art. Kristen considers herself a generalist, but as of late has been most enamored with black and white photography and traditional darkroom processes.  She also paints and draws.  Kristen is considering graduate work in Art Education, but for now is taking time to enjoy life after almost a decade of part-time school and a full-time career in medical device sales.  She and Dave, her husband of four years, are now making their home in Georgia, Vermont. They enjoy outdoor adventures, movies, public radio, social activism and playing with their two kitties, Lily and Mikey. Kristen is a member of the First Church of Christ Scientist.
