Kristi was raised in a family of artists and gardeners, where she whiled away many childhood hours in the garden, looking for fairies. It was at the ripe age of six that she decided to become an illustrator. After going to Art College, attending classes and workshops, and taking a little hiatus to raise her children, Kristi is now realizing her dream. She is actively involved with the environment, children and the arts. Kristi's trademark sepia effect is created with a ‘green-friendly’ quill pen.
