Kristina has been creating all her life and instantly fell in love with printmaking. Her work represents new life, vibrancy, and joy.
"All my artwork is original; drawn, carved, and printed by me. I use one block of wood, that I carve layer by layer- color by color, until the block is reduced and most of the image is carved away. I produce small, limited editions of each image, and once the block is fully carved and the last color is printed, the edition is done. I cannot print anymore from the block of wood, making them truly unique."
