Krisdjansen Oil
”My creative voice is captured in authentic unique works inspired by my own macro and landscape photography while walking in nature. I have spent over 15 years painting using oils, mostly on canvas. I like to move the paint around on the canvas with my brushes until it finds its rightful place.
I grew up in a four generation beekeeping family and had my own business in the honey and tourist industry for over 25 years.
Now my interests include hiking and spending time in nature, observing fauna and flora, with a specific interest in native bees and their symbiotic relationship with our native flowers.”
