Kristen Adams
Kristen earned her MA in Art with concentrations in Painting and Photography from the University of Saint Francis in 2017. She spent over a decade pouring her creative energy into wedding and portrait photography. Over time, her passion for animals and love of the outdoors gradually drew her back to her first artistic love...oil painting.
Kristen’s art features wildlife scenes inspired by her time in nature and the wild animals she’s seen right in her own backyard within the White Mountains of Northern New Hampshire. She works in oil and brings each painting to life with gold, silver, or copper leaf. She uses the metal leaf to depict leaves, light glinting off of water, and other components of nature. Depending on the angle you view each painting at the metal leaf reflects and changes which gives a sense of movement to a piece that represents the feeling of being outside in nature, where everything is constantly moving and ever-changing.
