Kristi Kohut

I discovered artist Kristi Kohut on Instagram and was drawn to her colorful and interesting pieces As I have mentioned before I love modern colorful art and her pieces just seem infused with happiness. She was named one of the “7 Next-Big-Thing Artists” by Elle Decor magazine. And her work has been featured in over 70 publications like AD, Better Homes & Gardens, Lonny, Martha Stewart and Forbes.

Hard Rock Aggate

Kristi says this about her art:

MY WORK IS INFLUENCED BY COLOR AND PATTERN IN THE WORLD ALL AROUND US. A PERMEATING CRACK ON THE SIDEWALK, THE VIBRANT LAYERS OF AGATE ROCK, THE EXOTIC CLOTHING OF A FARAWAY PLACE, ARE MY MUSES. I LOVE THE COLOR AND EFFECT CREATED WHEN UNEXPECTED COLORS AND TEXTURES ARE COMBINED. THE GLOSSINESS OF AN ACRYLIC PAINT NEXT TO THE CHALKY TEXTURE OF A PASTEL. OR AN IRIDESCENT BLEND NEXT TO A THICK, VELVETY SMUDGE OF OIL PIGMENT.
