Welcome and Here's the Story

A few days before Thanksgiving I received an email informing me that the New York State Council on the Arts was going to fund my proposal to create a series of drawings visualizing the connection of all life through the lens of geometry. I was thrilled. I am profoundly grateful for the funding and the recognition of my work. Life's in the Balance, the project title is a continuation of a creative investigation I started many decades ago and have brought forward through the years. I will be documenting my process and progress in this blog on and my Instagram account, @kristinharrisdesign. Join me.

 Life is in the balance. Simply be aware of the oneness of things. (Lao Tzu)
