About this episode
Kristen Ross discusses her artistic journey and the importance of environmental preservation through her landscape paintings.
In this episode, Kristen and Becca discuss the artist’s nonlinear path; culture, history, and geology of Boulder; life lessons learned through painting; environmental preservation and climate action; and upcoming events! Kristen Ross is an artist based in North Boulder whose landscape paintings in acrylic and oil reflect the vibrant complexity of the natural world. Hiking and camping in public lands near her home provides endless inspiration for her colorful works. Though she grew up hiking and camping with her family in the Appalachian mountains, it was moving to Colorado in 2015 that sparked her interest in landscape painting. Through her art, Kristen hopes to inspire appreciation for the world we share and highlight the importance of protecting it.
