BESPOKEN TOKEN

If you are looking for a memorable and inspiring gathering for your business team, a wedding event, or a special celebration, consider art and magic! Kristina can envision, create, and facilitate art based demonstrations and interactive art installations just for your party. Specializing in oracle and tarot card interpretation and mystical conversations, she mixes magic into spontaneous artwork with event group participants. Other services include vision board workshops and 1:1 intuitive consultations — spoken story messages. She shares her love for art as a steward of her free little art gallery, the Rose Garden Mini Gallery, teaches watercolor classes for the Santa Clara Libraries, and is a staff instructor at A Work of Heart Studio.

A maker since a very young age, Kristina’s current creative adventures are mixed media block printing and sewing & embellishing forms. She finds artistic inspiration in all things paper and textile (especially if it is shimmery and sparkly!). After being published in 1000 Designer Greetings, she expanded her love of creating for others. Her original works are hand crafted prints and textile tokens. Her makerie includes her “good intention dolls” (aka. her own concept “joujous poupées”), pincushions, and symbolic shapes— made for retail and private commissions.

With business management and programming experience in design, travel, and higher ed, she is process oriented, but her ideas originate from her family's cultural traditions, observations made while visiting other countries, and a fascination with the supernatural and metaphysical.

She grew up in the Twin Cities, MN, and has lived in Boston, Paris, and Taipei. Her family is now in the Bay Area with 2 snuggly cats, and their rescue German shepherd. Inspired by gardening, exploring Northern California, and seeking out delicious local ramen and boba teas, Kristina intends to impart a dose of her joie de vivre and local sunniness into her creative projects.
