She has shown in the Beco Gallery, H&R Block Artspace, ArtsKC, Bunker Center for the Arts, Lodger Gallery, Vulpes Bastille and several other galleries.

Kristina’s current paintings investigate frame tension, affixed components and psychological themes. Her line of sculptures explore personified objecthood, excessive materiality and bodily themes.
