Kristin studied graphic design and worked in the design and advertising industries before returning to university to complete a Graduate Diploma and Master of Fine Arts in glass, focussing on methods of transferring type and image into glass. Kristin considers glass a perfect medium for allowing a permanent memory of an event, time and place to be recorded in a sculptural work or piece of jewelry to hold, treasure and revisit at will. Her objective is to "capture memory". Current practice includes production jewelry and wall mounted panels, exhibition work and commissions. Kristin’s studio is located in Brunswick, Victoria.
