THE STORY
Krista's formal training was through the University of Guelph Fine Arts program with a specialization in sculpture. Her metal training is mostly self taught with supporting certifications in metal smithing, geology and lapidary, as well as basic welding.
"The roots of my heart are firmly planted in my West Coast home where the mountains, the forests, and the ocean are only steps away. My mind lives in Ontario where the innovation and advancement for ecological preservation seems to thrive. And my feet wander to the east coastal cliffs. It's across these unique ecosystems that i have found a love for creating magical and natural sculpture that both inspire and relax."
Mixed media of metal, stone, and wood are main staples in Krista's creations with the addition of semi-precious stones to accent and highlight. Electroformed and hand sawed metal pieces seamlessly entwined has created a niche style and flows and transforms with inspiration.
