Hi, I’m Krista Hasson, a Canadian artist drawn to the beauty and rhythm of the natural world. Through painting, I express a deep connection to nature and the quiet sense that we’re all part of something bigger. Whether I’m working in oil, collage, or watercolor, I’m always exploring how to capture that feeling of wonder and stillness.

Over the years, I’ve worked in a range of mediums—from luminous watercolor batiks to richly layered oil paintings. These days, you’ll often find me creating expressive collage art using hand-painted papers that I tear and reassemble into vibrant, textured compositions. I follow inspiration wherever it leads, and I love how each medium brings its own kind of magic to the process.

My work has been featured on the TV show Studio Tour, and I was a top 10 finalist in International Artist magazine’s floral competition, where my painting Show Stopper received a full-page spread. Sunflowers, one of my watercolors, was licensed by Rogers Chocolates for their Canadian Artist Collection. And my batik painting Garden Staple was chosen as a calendar cover by The Proxim Group.

I’m self-taught, endlessly curious, and always experimenting. When I’m not painting for galleries, I teach others how to tap into their own creativity through my online courses and my Art Creates Joy Club—a welcoming membership that helps beginner and returning artists reconnect with the joy of making.

I live in Rothesay, New Brunswick, with my husband and two cats. (We used to have a very sweet cocker spaniel named Jack—he’ll always be part of the story too.)
