My name is Kristina Kamstra. I'm a graduate of BYU-Idaho with an art degree focused on illustration.
I enjoy drawing characters, writing stories, and collaborating with fellow artists. Some dangerous pastimes of mine are daydreaming, reading comics and books, and watching movies with my husband. You will also see me attending conventions with my husband and friends when we can. One day, I will have an art table at one of these conventions! Some goals of mine are to visit Japan, take my first trip to Disney World, and to stay close to family. I hail from Allendale, Michigan and have lived there with my family of eight for over six years. Currently, my husband and I live in Michigan. |
