I'm Krista Benskin and I'm a self-taught artist who has honed my artistic talents over the course of 8 years. I spend most of my time creating pet portrait sculptures, decorative objects and fine art sculptures using paper. I relish in the process of taking a common product that we have all around us and creating something unexpected. I love using my hands and from the mess of paper mache I create joy. Many times when I get an idea for my next project the idea is born from wanting to express my thoughts, create an escape or capture some element of nature that has enchanted my imagination.
In addition to being an artist, I'm a cat mom to Gizmo and Bella and wife to Jason. You may occasionally catch glimpses of my family as they are an important part of my life and honestly I have given up trying to get Gizmo or Bella off the table or out of the shot because.....cats.
