Kristina Carroll is an award winning illustrator and fine artist. She specializes in art with a Fantastic, Surrealist and Symbolist aesthetic with a focus in Figurative work. While she loves many medias, oil and charcoal are her preferred weapons of choice and she strives to master both the art of color and black and white imagery. Kristina has discovered a second love in education and has taught a variety of art and illustration courses at several universities. In addition to teaching traditional classes, she works with Strathmore Artist Papers and Gamblin Oil Paints running workshops in colleges all around the New England area. Kristina is also the force behind the popular Month of Love and Month of Fear art challenges that are now entering their fifth successful years. These challenges attract some of the top artists in the industry and allow them to push their art to new heights with inspiring themes and community support.
