Kristen,
Thank you for being who you are! Last weekend I was in Traverse City for the first time with my mom and 2 sisters for a girls' weekend. I found your artwork and book in the Art and Soul Gallery. Your poetry touched me as I am in transition myself after a divorce. I am a single mom of 3 children and I am in the midst of so much loss and change. I bought the book after looking at your artwork and knew that I would find a friend who could have empathy and encouragement for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________
Kristen,
You are a powerful example of standing in the Flame and "walking your talk". It is an honor to be in your Universe. Thank you for your willingness to "just do it"...your sister in peace, Amanda Grace

Kristen - I found your work in a little art gallery in the North Carolina mountains this past Labor Day weekend, just two and a half months after my husband left me without any warning. I bought your book that day and since then it has inspired me, moved me to tears, and been a source of strength and grace. As I move forward into my own unknown, and am learning to let go of the life I had planned, your beautiful artwork will grace my new home.
Thank you more than you'll ever know.

I met your friend Amy, one of the owners of the Gallery and she spoke with so much enthusiasm about you! Thank you for your inspiration. And also, what a beautiful city you live in! Take care of yourself.

Kristen,
Three years ago while visiting Sunapee, NH, I found your "True Love" and had to get three for my daughters (then 10,17,and 18). I just gave my oldest hers for an engagement gift and ordered "Sweet Dreams" for my niece getting married this month. God Bless you.

Kristen,
I actually arrived early for a flight at DIA, and came across your work while browsing through a gift shop. I am 7 years in recovery of alcoholism, and I cannot tell you how absolutely touching I found your poetry - it stirred my heart and my soul. I cannot wait to tell my friends about your work - you're truly a gift!

Kristen,
I was so moved when I saw your work this summer while visiting Traverse City. I cried in the shop, your messages moved me so. It had been a very emotional summer for me and your poems opened the flood gates. I got great relief from my tears and your words. Your strength poem has a place of prominence in my son's living room. It was very meaningful to both of us.

My husband and I recently visited Traverse City. When we walked into one of the little shops, your art work immediately caught my eye. When I read "Sweet Dreams" it brought tears to my eyes. Any piece of art that can instantly move me to tears, is something I want hung in my house. I bought Sweet Dreams for our bedroom and a couple other prints for the rest of our house. I love your work and look forward to buying future pieces.
Kristin -- I first found you several years ago in a cool shop at the Albuquerque, NM airport. Your art so touches not only me but every woman my age that I've ever shared it with. Thank you for sharing your gift with us!
Just this afternoon I came across your art at the Best Art Shop in Naperville! I was so taken by the messages and simple designs that I wanted to see more of your work.
I saw your work in Elmhurst. I absolutely love it. I bought two pieces, but could have bought many, many more. You have a wonderful gift.
Great site; I purchased two of your works in Elmhurst. One was for my sister's 50th. And she loved it - I purchased one of the "She's". I also purchased one for myself. I love it - Told some friends about your art and they will visiting you soon!
I just bought four of your prints for my new home in Indianapolis at Details, a wonderful store near where I work at the new Saks Fifth Avenue. I have been a great collector of "Storybook people" and at first I thought it was some of his work. I was thrilled to find another artist! Keep up the good work, girlfriend. I'll keep buying!
Sharing the messages of LEAP and LEARNING TO SWIM with my two daughters...they are embarking on life after college. Thanks for the right words!
I cried in the middle of Les Sirenes, I felt as though you opened up a door in my heart and hugged me tightly. You are very wise and I am so happy that you create! Thank you for not being afraid to let your talent SHINE!
I found your work in a gallery over the weekend. read one piece and cried. your words are beautiful and i consider the last five minutes of reading your words on your work on the website inspiration for my soul. thank you for capturing the true she of being a woman. i feel myself a little more clearly. thank you!!
Wow! I saw your work at the Denver airport and was very impressed. Just finished going through your website--love your work and your "poetic truths." Very lovely, interesting and thought-provoking!
I certainly am a collector and proud momma of this artist.......she's great!
I am so impressed with your creativity! I have already passed the word to my office! Good luck!
I am your mom's friend and saw the piece you did for her on Mother's Day. It was wonderful. The message and the images are so beautiful and it was great to share in your mom's pride in your achievement. My best to you.
Kristen, you touched my heart with your work. I have been singing your praises to all. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing your art and your soul. Best wishes and much success!
Kristen, your prints are so inspiring. I hung my first one today. I love it. Kep up your fantastic work. We love you!
Kristen: I am thrilled for you! Your art is fabulous and my office is a brighter place because of your gifts and talents!
KRISTEN, I WALKED INTO YIKES GALLERY IN CENTER HARBOR NEW HAMPSHIRE LAST JULY WHILE ON VACATION AT LAKE WINNIPESAUKEE AND WALKED OUT FEELING MORE AT PEACE THAN I HAD IN A LONG TIME. SEEING YOUR WORK FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS A MOMENT OF VACATION THAT I SHALL NEVER FORGET. I BROUGHT HOME YOUR PRINT "HER MIRACLE" AND JUST GAVE IT TO MY DAUGHTER TO CELEBRATE THE "MIRACLE" OF THE BIRTH OF HER FIRST CHILD. SHE IS 41 YEARS OLD AND WAS TOLD SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE A FAMILY. SHE NOW IS ABLE TO HOLD HER MIRACLE IN HER ARMS. WE CALL HIM "KEVIN FROM HEAVEN". YOUR WORDS TOUCHED MY HEART THE MOMENT I READ THEM AND KNEW I HAD TO GIVE THE BEAUTIFUL PRINT TO MY DAUGHTER. SHE FELT THE SAME WAY AS I DID WHEN SHE FIRST READ IT. I WILL BE BACK AT THE LAKE THIS SUMMER AND WILL BE MAKING ANOTHER STOP IN TO YIKES GALLERY FOR A LOOK AT MORE PRINTS. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO AND HOW YOU SHARE YOUR TALENT WITH THE WORLD. ELAINE
