My story

I'm an American artist inspired by the sun, the sea and being the mother of two little kids. I was born near Los Angeles and earned two degrees in physics before finding my way to the visual arts. In 2017 I started working as an artist and commercial illustrator, and haven't looked back. Since then I have had the pleasure of creating art for clients around the world, including Monocle Magazine, the city of Ancona, Toyota Canada, Bloomberg Philanthropies and others.

My work is characterized by simplification, a limited color palette and a warm summer atmosphere. I make watercolor paintings, oil pastel drawings and digitally-painted art prints. My other half is Italian and we are often on the move. Find me on Instagram @kristenboydstun.

If you have any questions about my shop, just send me a message (shop@kristenboydstun.com) and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
