ABOUT KRISTIANNE

Kristianne was born and raised in an iconic California surf town and grew up in a family of professional world travelers. After receiving her BFA in photography, she set off on her own wild adventures and honed her mountaineering skills in the mountains of California, Colorado, and Mexico.

Soon after she met her now husband, they set out on a life-changing adventure together by sailing a 38' sailboat 8,000 miles from San Diego, French Polynesia, and north to Hawaii over the course of a year and a half.

Balancing her thirst for adventure and spontaneity while settling in with a routine to raise a family has heavily influenced her work. Common themes are the environment, thresholds, and feminism.

She is currently settled in her home town and continues to work as an advertising photographer and multi-diciplinary artist working with photography and fiber arts.

When she's not in her studio or working on location, she is exploring the coast by sailboat with her husband as they plan their next offshore adventure.
