About Kris
I’m a South Texas artist inspired by the land I call home—
But the story behind my work goes deeper than what you see on the surface.
I’ve always been drawn to creating. My artistic journey began years ago after seeing a painted motorcycle and feeling curious about how it was made. That moment led me to pick up an airbrush—and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. Over time, I’ve developed a style that moves between photorealism and expressive abstraction, using acrylic, watercolor, pen, pencil, and pastels to capture both detail and emotion.
Today, I create original fine art, prints, and custom pet portraits — artwork made to hold the things that matter most. The landscapes we come from. The flowers that stop us in our tracks. And the animals who somehow become the heart of our homes.
Outside the studio, I serve as a Firefighter/Paramedic with the San Antonio Fire Department. That experience has deeply shaped how I see the world. Witnessing both the fragility and strength of life has strengthened my desire to honor beauty in everyday moments. The balance between service and creativity is central to who I am—and to the work I create.
My work has been featured in magazines, television, and collaborations with other artists—experiences that have helped refine and shape my creative voice over time.
I’m a proud native Texan, deeply connected to the land, my family, my faith, and the animals that bring so much joy into our lives. In a world where kindness can feel scarce, I try to lead with it—because I believe it transforms both art and everyday life.
My work is rooted in place, presence, and the belief that art should feel like home.
