As a native of Phoenix, AZ,
Kristin Forbes-Mullane grew up with an obsession for anything having to
do with art. At a young age she began painting and drawing every chance
she got. This love of art came from her father, who as an artist and
graphic designer himself has always inspired her.
Without any formal training in
art, hating high school enough to know there’d be no way she’d survive
the structure and rules of college, she has managed to learn about art
by studying on her own. She has found herself being drawn to anything
with a dark, sad feeling. Her love for all things sinister portrays
itself in her art as religious icons, old family photos and figures,
twisted into something dark, no longer serine and beautiful. This
transition from light to dark allows the viewer to create their own
story… “That little girl looks so innocent, but she might bite you when
you aren’t looking”
