Kristi Kohut

Kristi Kohut’s vibrant, playful work drips with colors and textures inspired by nature’s beauty—geodes, butterflies, prisms, sand. Drifting on a spectrum between boldly earthy to brightly shimmery, her statement pieces make a splash in any setting. And with a successful social media-driven selling strategy that puts them directly into the hands of interior designers and collectors, it’s no wonder that these highly sought-after works are sold within moments of being posted to Instagram.

Kristi opened the doors to Kristi Kohut Studio – a brick and mortar gallery and studio space in 2018. Additionally, she exhibits her work at select fairs and pop-ups including Scope Miami, the Affordable Art Fair in NYC, as the Artist in Residence for the grand opening of Batch/Hudson Yards in NYC, on the Kelly Clarkson Show and more. Named one of the “7 Next-Big-Thing Artists” by Elle Decor magazine, Kristi and her work have also been featured in Forbes, Architectural Digest and more.
