About Me
Kristina Simpson is a contemporary painter based in the London, Ontario area. She received a graduate diploma in Art Therapy from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute, after completing an Honours B.A in Psychology with a minor in Fine Art from the University of Guelph. Since then Kristina has decided to dedicate more of her time to her personal artwork. Her paintings are mostly acrylic on canvas and spans from abstract to representational styles of art.
By using vivid colours, a variety of texture, and expressive brushstrokes, the pieces are infused with energy. Kristina aims to exude feelings of hope, love, passion & joy in every piece created. Two of her pieces were selected for the 2016-2017 Traffic Signal Wraps Public Art Project, one of which can be seen on the corner of Wonderland Road & Riverside Road in London, Ontario.
Art was always a hobby of mine since childhood. In high school I had a fantastic art teacher who pushed me to explore different styles of painting & I fell in love with it. I also started using it as a mental heath tool for me during difficult times, which I would come back to many times throughout my life. Now being a mom, it's more important than ever to focus on my mental health. Which for me comes from immersing myself in my art and my family :)
