Looking Closer: A Conversation Beyond the Canvas with Kristin Divers
After publishing my recent interview with Master Pastelist Kristin Divers, I started receiving thoughtful questions—ones that suggested readers were craving more. Who inspires Kristin? What artists influence her decisions in color, composition, and subject matter? And why this painting, at this moment?
These are the kinds of questions that take us deeper—not just into an artist’s mind, but into the emotional framework of any creative work.
So, I circled back to Kristin. I asked her to reflect on the artists who have left a lasting imprint on her thinking. And I asked her to choose one painting from her upcoming exhibition to explore in more detail—not from a technical standpoint, but from an emotional one. What drew her to it? Why did this moment matter?
