Exhale is a collection created to offer space—a pause in the rhythm of daily life where calm can be reclaimed. Each piece is an invitation to slow down, notice small joys, and find presence in the moment.

Through color and abstraction, the collection explores themes of stillness, connection, and renewal: the depth of indigo, the warmth of orange, the grounding of green, the clarity of turquoise, the inner light of yellow, the compassion of pink, and the authenticity of violet. Together, they reflect the many ways we experience peace—alone, with others, and within ourselves.

At its core, Exhale is about creating room for breath, for stories, and for belonging. It reminds us that every story matters, and that even in chaos, there is always space to return to center.

In this collection, acrylic, gouache, and pigment sticks are used to create layers and depth. Through a controlled yet chaotic process, Kristen conveys the essence of movement and light onto the canvas. They are raw, honest, and filled with a lightness that comes from the exhale.

Exhale. is a journey back to center. A reminder that your story matters.
