Full Bio

Crystal describes the artist’s experience as “a lifelong journey that requires joy in slow becoming’s, and a genuine hunger for mastery.”

In the years since earning her BA in Visual Arts from the University of Northern Colorado, Crystal has remained dedicated to her education and credits much of her progress to her studies with several renowned artists including Casey Childs, Keith Bond, and Tina Garrett. She is heavily influenced by historical masters of the late 1800’s Naturalist movement including Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret, George Clausen, Edgar Maxence and James Guthrie. Other favorites include American impressionist Mary Cassatt and William Adolphe Bouguereau.

Crystal (a local Loveland High graduate) now lives in Windsor, Colorado with her husband, 5 sons, and sole female companion, a mischievous whippet named Indie.

She is the current Colorado State ambassador for the Portrait Society of America.
