Kristin Nelson

Originally from Ajax, Ontario, Kristin Nelson received her BFA in Visual Arts from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in 2003. She is an inter-media artist whose recent bodies of work have focused upon valourizing communities who are often made invisible. These include an accomplished series of figurative paintings that examine “butch” through portraiture and an ambitious photographic drag king trading card project documenting 119 kings from around the world. Kristin has exhibited work at Centre A, Gallery Gachet and The Lowercase Gallery (Vancouver, B.C.), at the Lyndon Center (Austin, Texas) and the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
