Biography | |
With over 45 years of experience painting in Oils, Pastels, Acrylic, and recently Experimental Art, Kristen Pettinato has taught side by side with world renown artists and her works have been displayed throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. A mother of 8, her art was put on hold while she raised her children. Now, as the last has left to make his way in the world, Kristen has returned to the work she loves.
Traveling the US, Kristen's subject matter is the world around her. Never without camera and sketchbook she brings back pieces of the world to her studios to recreate the natural beauty she sees for others to enjoy. |
