about me(ander)

I rediscovered a part of myself on a road trip through the west in 2015 with a 50 year old camera and a couple rolls of film. The sight of light leaks, of film grain, of discovering the hidden function of a forgotten object all sparked my creative joy. Film has allowed me to find my voice and my vision as an artist, and to embrace my desire to connect deeply with my subjects and my craft.

My tools of the trade include a 35mm Pentax K1000 and a medium format Pentax 67 II. I’m partial to Kodak film, but could never pick a favorite. In Denver, I work as a fine art printmaker helping artists bring their work to others. I’m fortunate to print all of my own work and build and stretch each canvas too.

I wanted to call my process what it was: Meandering. It is a practice of following my own rhythm, nature’s rhythms, ebbs and flows, sharpening myself on the curves and depositing what no longer serves. I have come a long way to listen, to soften to it all. These landscapes endlessly inspire me; the dynamic contrasts of the land and the fierce adaptations of the life here. I endeavor to be like the river- in every sense a force of nature, carving out its own place in the world.

I hope I never see enough.

Reach out if you have a project in mind, I would love to take you up on it.

With love,

Kristen
