Kristi Beattie

Kristi Beattie is a self-taught painter working primarily in acrylic on canvas and paper. Her work includes florals, still life, and landscapes inspired by her travels, all rooted in close observation of everyday beauty. Drawing from her garden, home, and places she’s visited, Kristi explores layered color, line and expressive brushwork to capture moments of calm and natural abundance.
