Artist Statement:

Inspired by both illustration and design, Kristin Chae enjoys creating work that embodies elements of the two worlds. She enjoys working with traditional mixed media as well as digital tools for her illustration, design, and hand lettering works. Often very minimal in design and limited in color palette, Kristin’s works are playful and light.
