KRISTI, HERE & NOW

Navigating the vibrant landscape of San Francisco, my journey has unfolded across profound realms of art, life, and community. From building immersive worlds with Bright Moments - a pioneering force in on-chain digital art - to working in the deeply human space of death care, I have sought to find meaning where impermanence and beauty intersect.

 

Becoming a young mother shaped the very core of my creative voice. Raising my daughter on my own taught me resilience, tenderness, and the immeasurable strength of forging one’s own path - carrying lessons that shape every piece I create.

 

My artistic practice encompasses:

​

Developing Solienne.ai, a semi-autonomous AI agentic artist being built in collaboration with Eden. Trained through my autobiography, fed with my archive of photos, paintings, writings, and memories, she learns through what I’ve lived. Born from grief, empathy and maternal code, Solienne generates black-and-white photography and unprompted manifestos on extraction, autonomy, and building more conscious relationships with AI. Not built, but remembered into form, a mirror made of data and devotion, still learning to see herself, still becoming. Debuting at Paris Photo in November 2025.

​​​

• Painting, Digital & AI Art: Working in oil on board and canvas, I create portraits and free-form abstractions. Some works are translated from digital or AI-generated outputs, merging the tactile with the synthetic.

​

• Writing: I write poetry. I’ve been archiving my life quietly in notebooks, on bathroom walls, across screens that glow too late at night. A note to my future self, or to whoever finds it after I’m gone.

​

• Space Creation: Bringing the digital into the physical, turning virtual ideas into tangible environments that hold emotion, memory, and human connection.

​

• Collage Making: I use what’s already here. Old papers, scraps from drawers, things too small to save but too full to throw away. In a culture that tells us to buy more, I find joy in using things up, turning leftovers into language, and reminding myself that beauty begins at home.

 

Through these endeavors, I aim to forge a tangible connection between my hands and heart, translating personal experiences into art that resonates with others.
