Hi, I’m Krista Hasson—an artist drawn to the beauty and rhythm of the natural world. My art is how I express a deep connection to nature and the feeling that I’m part of something bigger. Whether I’m working in oil, collage, or watercolor, I’m always exploring ways to capture that sense 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 collages using hand-painted papers I tear and reassemble into vibrant, textured pieces. I follow inspiration wherever it leads, and I love how each medium brings something new to the process.

My work has been featured on the cable 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. Rogers Chocolates licensed my watercolor Sunflowers for their Canadian artist collection, and Garden Staple, one of my watercolor batiks, 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 Art Creates Joy Club—a welcoming membership that helps 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.)
