I’m Kristin Braks, an artist, graphic designer and art teacher who finds inspiration in moments of the life. My art varies between edges of themes, styles and techniques, differs in media, subjects, emotions and moods. Most of all it offers visual delight and have hidden deeper meaning which rely on viewers perspective.

The old ecosystem of natural meadows is a habitat for the common as well as rare species native to the region. Our healthy diet and overall planet survival depends on pollinating agents who visit flowers to drink nectar or feed off of pollen on these meadows. The increasing need for space for spreading human populations and intensive farming together with change to monoculture and use of chemical fertilisers to improve yield have drastically depleted the environment in which various animals, plants, fungi, and even microorganisms such as bacteria live and make up our natural world.

There is no need to stop farming or expansion of living areas but to rise the awareness to preserve and protect biodiversity. Restoration crop field to meadow not only takes finances but requires also 6-10 years of wise management at least. Let’s be reasonable!

A variety on meadows provide the amazing seasonal visual delight of blooming flowers or plants that wither, dry and “die” only to return each year. Some of these wonderful plant models appear as main characters on my Meadow Series paintings as well as other nature themed artworks like prints or monotypes.
