From the Creature Shop in Charleston, South Carolina, Kris creates her playful, whimsical and fantastical pieces. Favorite mediums include glass, cloth, paper, ink, paint and found objects.
In 2018, Kris learned some of her signature fabrication techniques from intensive study with Roy Wooley of Syfy's FaceOff , known for work on The Hunger Games, Zombieland and Netherworld. She has studied puppetry with the internationally acclaimed, Old Trout Puppet Workshop. Kris was awarded "Best Social Commentary" for her piece Compassion at the 2017 MOJA Art Festival Juried Art Exhibition. In 2017 she was a presenter/performer for TEDx Charleston where she wrote the script, developed animation, composed music, fabricated puppets, costumes and sets and created “Mind Your Monkeys."
In 2019, Kris collaborated with renowned artist Jonathan Green, Pure Theater and producer Carol Antman in the theater production of Osceola’s Muse. Inspired by the connenction between the Seminole and African history, Kris created an immersive experience as part of the production and a large body of paintings featuring the Seminole people. In 2019 she was commissioned by the Town of Mount Pleasant to paint a large public mural and large oyster shell sculpture to contibute to the town’s artistic flair. The wildly popular Steeplechase of Charleston commissioned Kris to create a striking artistic focal point for the event - a life-sized horse covered in over 50,000 feathers.
In 2020, Kris collaborated with miniture artist Ken Hamilton to create a poinant piece during the COVID pandemic. The duo plans to continue collaborate throughout the year.
Her works reside in private collections and the permanent collection of the City of North Charleston and the Town of Mount Pleasant, SC.
