Bev's Fine Art, Raleigh, North Carolina

Kristin Skinner, known in the arts community as Kristan Five, graduated from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 1995. After a successful career with an international design firm, she moved to Charlotte in 1999 to open her own design company. After several prominent commissions, she was able to transition to painting full time. In 2018, she and her family moved to Western North Carolina where she works in a beautiful mountain studio.

Kristan Five summarizes her abstract, color-based work as follows: “In theory, my work is inspired by our earth’s landscape. Globally, much of nature shares the intrinsic beauty of organic lines, textures and color with the human contribution of synthetic elements.”

Very good estate condition.
