About the Artist

Kristina Carroll has been drawing pictures since she could hold a crayon. When she was old enough to have those funny little coloring books where you would dip a pen in water and then put it on the pictures to "magically" reveal the colors, she would rather create her own picture stories on the back, blank pages than color the pictures already there. Growing up, nearly every page of her notebooks in school had a doodle on them or even a little story spreading over multiple pages and art was always her favorite subject. She took art classes in high school, even a few private ones with a nice old lady named Doris who taught her how to use pastels.... which she hasn't picked up since, but plans to get back to.... at some point. After her high-school graduation in 2000, she fled Montana and came to New York City to study Theatre. Quickly after graduating from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy, she realized she liked art more than theatre and is currently working on expanding on her first love. She studied with the legendary Irwin Greenberg at the Art Students League of New York for over a year and is now finishing up a BFA in Illustration at the School of Visual Arts in N YC. In addition to private commissions and freelancing, she apprentices with top illustrator and friend Donato Giancola in his studio.
