Artist’s Statement

My work is created for the sake of communication, not ornamentation. Enclosed in each piece lies a hidden message for the viewer to interpret. With every brush stroke, I speak the emotions that mere words could never fully convey.

Kristin Abraham is an award-winning artist from Rochester, New York. She moved to southwest Florida in 2001, and taught K-12 art at Florida Christian Institute, for two years. Self taught, and only twenty-four, Abraham’s work has been published in a book titled “Best Of Florida,” which is part of the Kennedy Promotions “Best Of” series. She’s been recognized by the state of Florida, with an Artist’s Achievement Grant, and in 2007, received an award from the National Society of Arts and Letters.

Abraham’s work has been exhibited nation-wide. Her paintings return to traditional use of symbolism and storytelling. They are somewhat surrealistic in nature, while focusing on serious issues of life found throughout history. She often experiments with strong contrasts and bright colors to add a playful feel to the painting’s more serious meaning.
