What beauty nature creates! Enter your name and email, and receive immediate access to “Collateral Beauty,” an original graphite drawing from my Non-Human Architects series, just for you.

It’s no small thing to surrender your email address, and I am grateful you’ve invited me to keep in touch about my ongoing work and process at Terra Kind Studio Co. Never would I share or sell your information to third parties. It wouldn’t be kind.

What to Expect When You Join “Nature Calls”

This is more of an art-letter than a traditional “newsletter.” It’s meant for people who love art, love buying and collecting art that is meaningful to them, and people who love stories and want a deeper connection to the natural world.

EACH ART-LETTER CONTAINS

A short story from the Studio. Get a feel of what it’s like inside the day-to-day of an artist’s studio and about my art practice. Learn something new, get you thinking, and be inspired.

Upcoming Exhibits & Opening Receptions. All the details should you want to attend. I’d love to meet you at openings in real life!

Really Good Book Recommendations, just like a good friend would give you.

Sneak Peeks of New Artwork with stories and inspiration behind the work.

Be the first to know about Special Offers & Launches in my online art shop.

And anything else that I think you may value.

Wrapped into every edition, sent to you with gratitude and kindness.

My promise is to keep your inbox beautiful, not overwhelm it. I pop in about once a month, depending on what’s happening, on Tuesday mornings at 7:30 am CST.

Behind the Scenes in the Studio.

Natural found objects, good books, experimenting, and studies lead to progress, discoveries, and new directions. Aside from being outdoors and exploring nature, my studio is my favorite place to be and where it all happens. Come on in and be inspired.

Kristin works in watercolor, graphite, color pencil, oil pastels, and pen and ink, interpreting in detail the beautiful chaos she finds in native wild spaces and its inhabitants who call these spaces home. Kristin sees all living creatures as kin and is always kind to spiders.
