Crystal is a transplant from Ontario that has been living on the West coast for 9 years, she is an avid rock climber, split boarder, and mountaineer based in Squamish, BC. Her art is inspired by the environment she plays in. Mountains, local flora, and adventures like climbing and skiing are a common theme in her artwork. She paints acrylic mountainscapes and creates custom mixed-media illustrations including characters enjoying outdoor adventures.
She lost touch with her artistic side for many years until she was reunited with a creative practice in 2020 after a significant head injury sidelined her for a couple years. Creating art became a meaningful outlet during her recovery. Today she cherishes this silver lining and continues to make space for her creative practice while taking in new inspiration from the mountain adventures she has returned to.
