Teaches at Art on 30th

Kristen Ide

Kristen is a graphic designer, an award-winning artist, and certified art instructor. She studied Art Education at Middle Tennessee State University because it seemed to be the most natural path: she loved art and she loved helping others. Being a part of bringing other's ideas to life and giving students confidence to move their art forward is one of her greatest joys.

Her work and styles vary across multiple mediums: from mixed media abstracts to expressive watercolors to plein air oil/gouache landscapes.​ You can view her work and watch her paint live during opening reception nights at Art on 30th in Studio 14 on the second floor.

​There are so many wonderful avenues to take in art...and I love the exploration.  That's what keeps me excited about this lovely journey... it's ever changing, aways adventurous and completely delightful.​ In my early life I had long careers in display and visual presentation, along with another as a faux finish and mural artist in many homes for private clients as well as Interior Designers.  My mural work eventually led me into painting on canvas and my merchandising eye for putting things together stirred my interests towards mixed media and assemblage art. I wake up most mornings ready to create.  I greet my studio with something in mind and start the days adventure from there.
