I'm Kristen Graham, the artist and designer behind Kristen’s Creative Arts—a creative studio where watercolor, illustration and graphic design come together to tell meaningful, memorable stories. I originally went to school for animation and video games, but my creative path led me into the world of graphic design, where I’ve spent over 17 years helping businesses stand out through branding, marketing materials and custom apparel.

In May 2020, I picked up a paintbrush and began my watercolor journey. What started as a creative outlet quickly grew into a heartfelt passion. Today, I specialize in custom watercolor commissions—capturing homes, pets, florals, and everyday beauty in vibrant, detailed brushstrokes. My work has become a go-to for thoughtful gifts, keepsakes, and real estate closing presents.

As a children’s book illustrator, I love bringing stories to life with expressive characters and soft, playful color palettes. Whether I’m painting a beloved home, designing a logo, or illustrating a picture book, I approach every project with care and intention.
