Kris's love of the visual world started very young when she would travel into Boston with her mother to the Women's Educational & Industrial Union on Boylston ST. There they would visit her grandmother, who taught needlework. The floor to ceiling bins of rich dyed wools were a feast for the eyes and the swirling organic to the geometric patterns on the linens and canvases were intoxicating. As she grew up Kris pursued her art education and received a degree in Architectural Design from Mass College of Art.

Growing up with energetic parents introduced Kris to places on Cape Cod like the woods of Nickerson State Park to the sand dunes of Monomoy. Winter trips camping in Florida at Juniper Springs inspired Kris to all the glories of nature; fresh water springs bubbling up, and the whitest sand imaginable.

Now at the age of 56, I have finally put it all together, I see connections between stones or features in the stone that I enhance. There is a comfortable feeling when stones mate together, if this does not happen, I don't push it and move on to something else. I often feel like I am just facilitating the inevitable.

I thrive in the process of creating stone pieces. To create my work I use various methods involving cutting, grinding and even torching the stone.  When a piece is complete and someone asks; has that been there all the time? It makes me very satisfied. The stones are like my life, art has been there all along, but now it is better.
