KRISTIN MAIJA PETERSON / WORKS ON PAPER
Always Searching for Awe.
My work represents the wild, the messy, the misunderstood, and the “scapes” within our Midwest landscapes and those I discover abroad. The spaces and places I find intriguing and magical are the ones that are often passed over, yet their details and complexities reveal ecosystems vital to the whole and vital to our well-being. There is such awe and beauty in the natural chaos of things.
For every piece I draw, watercolor, or print, I craft a story that blends art with science to give you to a deeper understanding and connection to our natural world. Everything is amazing out here.
Welcome to my world at Terra Kind Studio. I hope you enjoy it here.

ABOUT THIS PIECE
This is a love story about a small section of suburbia, a backyard we intentionally let go wild that belonged to a house we were renting. This wasn’t because were are irresponsible tenants. The fact was the backyard terrain was too dangerous to mow. What may have seemed like neglect to others was for me my secret “wild” garden.
