Kristianne grew up in a small beach town to a family of world travelers. After receiving her BFA in photography, she embarked on intermittent travel and mountaineering expeditions around the world.
Soon after she met her husband, they set out on a life-changing adventure together: sailing a 38' sailboat from San Diego, CA to French Polynesia and north to Hawaii.
Her ocean voyages and thirst for adventure continue to influence her photography. She currently lives in a California beach town and works as an advertising and fine art photographer. When she's not behind the lens, she is raising her two children and planning their next offshore adventure.
Kristianne's work has received numerous awards and recognition and is included in private, public and corporate collections. Her photography and sculptures have been exhibited at The Griffin Museum, The Center for Fine Art Photography, Panopticon Gallery, and The Kiernan Gallery amongst others.
Artist Statement
My photography is a gift that allows me to leave the safe harbor. I filter life, emotions, and connections through my photographs. Each project gives me insight into exploring deeper waters and allows me to share a fragment from the other side.
I am a visual artist exploring personal histories and the tension of paradox to create narratives expressed as photographs, sculptural objects, and bound works.
