Krista is an artist and illustrator from Boise, Idaho. She graduated from Boise State University Honors College with her BFA in Illustration, Summa Cum Laude. She is pursuing a career in character design and children's illustration. Never shy of any art medium, Krista enjoys regular experimentation while maintaining thematically bright colors. Her favorite subject matter explores themes such as animals and nature, inclusivity, and whimsical fantasy.

​

When she doesn't have a pencil or paintbrush in hand, Krista can be found dancing her heart out, curled up with a book and her cat, or exploring the world journal and camera in hand.
