THE WANDERLUST COLLECTION
A PEACEFUL escape for your home.
A collection of delicate, sun-soaked landscapes inspired by nostalgia for past adventures once lived.
I can remember it all.
Magic. Adventure.
A COLLECTION years in the making
In 2017 I went on an adventure to California that changed my life. That trip made a lasting impression. It inspired me to return to my passion and pursue a career as an artist.
Four years later, in the middle of a global pandemic and a time of personal unrest, I decided to dust off the photographs from my trip and relive those memories in paint. The past year has been a very turbulent season in my life. A time where nothing felt certain. I needed an escape.
This collection was fuelled by my nostalgia for the adventures of my past. I always knew I would create this collection. It was never a question of “if”, but more a question of “when”.
The time was now. A time where I needed escape, peace, and hope. I had to turn inwards. Four years later, The Wanderlust Collection was born.
If I had one word to describe how I felt,
it would be peace.
Something, it turns out,
I hadn’t felt in a long time.
Remember the feeling?
Now, hold onto it tight.
You can do anything.
Be anything.
Hope,
Evermore.
These paintings are for you,
Your home, and Your heart.
May they create moments of beauty,
especially when things feel ugly in the world.
May they inspire creativity and change.
May they bring peace during times of sorrow,
turbulence, and uncertainty.
May they remind us to hope for better
and truly believe better is coming.
Like they did for me.
find the perfect piece for your home.
NOTES FROM THE ARTIST
You would think that painting such peaceful, tranquil scenes in dreamy color scapes would mean I was probably off in my own perfect world for the past few months, but that’s not the truth.
Painting this collection has been healing for me. It was sometimes painful and hard. Through that pain, I was able to create peace and beauty from these moments.
This collection is about seeking hope and peace in our lives always. Remembering the small joys in life. Escaping in beautiful color scapes, scenes of peace, even if it’s just for a moment.
Hope evermore.
Thank you so much for your love and endless support for my work. I could not do this without you.
With Love,
Kristi
