Artist’s Statement
My work is created for the
sake of communication, not
just ornamentation. Enclosed
in each piece lies a hidden
message for the viewer to
interpret. With every
brushstroke, I speak the
emotions that mere words could
never fully convey.
~ Kristin Abraham

Abraham was born second into a

Coast University and exhibited
in the FGCU student show.
After one semester, she took

time, Abraham achieved gallery
representation by Artemesia
