I'm Cristal, an artist and creative designer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m a passionate artist who followed an instinct to keep creating. No matter what!
Ever since I can remember I have been surrounded
by people who are passionate about making things
with their hands.

"IN PRACTICE, DESIGN SHOULD ALWAYS BE
A REFLECTION OF OUR COMMUNITY”
| Milton Glaser

I've been on the path of the artist for the past 20 years.
I believe in “serendipity” and “curiosity”. Today I know that life is beautiful and full of surprises. Life is also full of unexpected experiences full of different emotions. Art is the reflection of all those things. Art can speak all the things that at times we can’t utter with words. Art is the fleeting moment in time. At the same time art is passion and poetry. Art is also people and genuine, authentic connections we find, harness and nurture in others.

the process is part of the 
JOURNEY

When I'm not in the studio making art, you will find me around the city or out in nature snapping pictures of anything that captures my attention. My many travels in the last year have instilled in me a love for observing things at a slower pace. I love talking to people and creating new connections that often have led to the most amazing pieces of artwork. Not to mention, everlasting friendships.
