Visual Art – Calgary
Calgarian artist Kristen Powell is known for her vibrant mixed media pieces that incorporate digital media and striking handmade elements. With a B. F. A. from the University of Calgary and a B. Ed. from the University of British Columbia, she works as a high school art teacher and creates art on weekends. Recently, she is exploring the theme of sound in her work. For Kristen, music and sound are often connected to important moments and memories. She uses these moments as inspiration to create abstract paintings that include sound waves and symbolic colours. Her pieces resonate with viewers because of our shared experience with music and sound. Kristen aims to make emotional experiences tangible and relatable. She enjoys experimenting with new mediums and seeking to create images that resonate with others.
