Painting is my passion, and it truly gives me joy. I started painting as a way of relieving stress and found that it calms my mind and makes me happy. I enjoy all kinds of arts and crafts but I normally paint with acrylic paints and I enjoy incorporating blacklight paint and glow in the dark paint in my paintings

I enjoy abstract painting where my focus is on playing with colors and I also like to paint landscapes.

When I am not painting, I like to take pictures of nature. You can check out my photography at Kristy Lewellen Photography

I am also a web designer and graphic designer; it is nice to be able to use my creativity in different ways. I have really enjoyed growing my digital art skills and plan on spending more time with my drawing tablet in the future. My digital works can be viewed through Adaptive Media Productions.

Often I get asked about my birds and how I started painting my strange birds, the answer is I have always been surrounded by strange birds. My grandfather was an amazing artist and I have always lived in a house with his artwork on the walls. My birds are a little different than his but they are inspired by all of his bird paintings.
