Art

Hi! My name is Krista ("Krisi," "Mac"). I'm a quiet, 30-something self-taught artist from Canada. I am a mother of 3 incredible children and 2 cats. I work as a Program Manager for individuals with developmental disabilities and I support families as a postpartum doula. And when time and energy allows, I create!

​

My art is inspired by the world around and inside me: wildlife, landscapes, dreamscapes, and geek culture are themes I paint often. Most recently, I have been inspired by my own postpartum experience and the support I provide as a doula to other families.

​

My aspiration is to upgrade my BA Psychology to a Masters of Counselling Psychology and become an art therapist, helping individuals recover from trauma. Art has been such a powerful tool in my own recovery journey (postpartum healing, surviving the deaths of loved ones, finding my way in life) and I would love to show others how to utilize art and expression to help them through their own journeys.
