Kristina’s Bio:

Kristina (Bills) Anderson is an amateur artist who loves the Colorado outdoors. Her professional career was in the construction industry, and she feels this gives her an eye for detail and an appreciation for architectural elements. Kris had the opportunity to paint with some amazing artists who taught her the fundamentals of watercolor. Drawing and painting have always been an enjoyable way to document her trips – starting with journaling and progressing to plein air.

Kristina’s favorite things to paint:

I prefer to paint landscapes, particularly with an architectural element so as to create a sense of place. My background in construction management has helped me develop an eye for the details of a structure.
I enjoy acrylics as well. It’s a challenge to go back and forth between that and watercolor. I’ve also worked in ceramics to create tile installations for residential and commercial projects. I created my own molds of flora and fauna, then glazed them as the customer preferred. It’s fun to see my art a a permanent aspect of a home!

Kristina’s favorite or most admired artists:

Martha Mans AWS, Morten E. Solberg AWS

Kristina’s goals for the next year:

Paint more, and loosen up!! Take advantage of retirement to develop as an artist.

Kristina’s Watercolor Tip or Trick:

Not everything needs to be a masterpiece.
