Kristen Feighery is a modern folk artist who's work takes heavy influence from her humble roots growing up in Southeastern Appalachian Kentucky. Kristen is a self-taught modern folk artist from Southeastern Kentucky. Her simple and organic painting style is a direct reflection of her upbringing in the Appalachian mountains where she grew up watching and learning from family members who taught themselves the art of quilting, banjo playing, knitting and more. Being from humble roots, Kristen prizes the idea of ‘using what you have’ and incorporating recycled materials into her work. You can find her paintings on old house shutters, cabinet doors and barn wood, just to name a few……whatever she can find! The subjects she prefers to paint are those that influenced her as a child…….biblical scenes, angels, and everyday country scenes such as church picnics and river baptisms. Kristen's true love is creating art that inspires and uplifts. This is why she created her beloved 'Message Art' and 'Poetic Art' prints......encouraging words coupled with her artwork to brighten peoples day! Some of her most popular pieces were created during the pandemic lockdown to cheer up her customers. Kristen is humbled and honored to have had her artwork represented in over 50 gift shops throughout the years and is excited for her wholesale business to grow!
