About Kristen
Hi, thanks for stopping by! I am a tradional mixed media artist working out of Charleston, SC. I use media that include traditional printmaking, ink, paint, and found photographs. I believe in maintaining the beauty and uniqueness that comes with handmade art and make all of my art work by hand. I also design logos, invitations, blogs, and other web and print needs.
In 2008 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in illustration from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Since the I have been working as a freelance artist, creating logos, branding, exhibiting and selling my work in boutiques, festivals, and galleries. I am the owner of the Artwork of Kristen Solecki Shop on Etsy. I am a bi-monthly contributor to Handmade in PA. My work is currently being sold at Vix Emporium and Nice Things Handmade in Philadelphia, PA as well as Hello, Bluebird in Reading, PA. I love meeting new people and supporting those who are doing what they love; please contact me with any questions or comments!
