Artist Statement
 

​

"Photography has been for me a lifelong process of observation- I look for light in the shadows, celebrate the land meeting the sky, and chisel away to show detail among chaos.

The landscape of the prairie leaves me breathless as I seek to express its beauty through photographs.

This peaceful yet raging expanse of sky meeting land has brought comfort to my weary soul; for I know the One who created it and that brings me great joy."

Cristen's photographs can be found on her website, regional art shows and galleries across the state.
