ABOUT
About Us
Fine Art by Kristi Arzola was established in the Summer of 2014, fueled by a profound desire to inspire through creativity and lead by example for her young son. Kristi courageously transitioned from a fulfilling career in aerospace, where she excelled as a Training Developer and Instructor, to fully embrace her lifelong passion for fine art. This bold step allowed her to seamlessly blend her instructional expertise with her deep-rooted love for artistic expression.
From the tender age of 9, Kristi has been irresistibly drawn to the world of fine art, a passion that eventually led her to the distinguished Northwest College of Art & Design in Poulsbo, Washington. There, she earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree, with dual majors in Fine Art and Multimedia. Kristi possesses a rare and valuable gift—the ability to deconstruct the complexities of art into easily digestible, sequential steps, making her an exceptional guide for learners of all levels.
At Fine Art by Kristi Arzola, we offer immersive art lessons for both children and adults, catering to a wide spectrum of experience levels. Kristi’s teaching methodology focuses on foundational art techniques while fostering creativity and the freedom of personal expression. Upcoming lessons, designed to spark inspiration and skill development, are regularly updated on our Facebook page: Facebook.
Kristi’s artistic versatility spans a broad range of mediums, including watercolors, oils, acrylics, colored pencils, and graphite. Although she is particularly renowned for her intricate watercolor paintings—especially her detailed landscapes and florals—Kristi is equally adept at guiding students in other mediums. We encourage you to reach out if you’re interested in exploring a different medium, as our mission is to provide a high-quality artistic experience tailored to your individual needs.
For those seeking a truly unique piece of art to adorn their home or business, Kristi is available for commissions. Her work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, whether capturing the delicate beauty of a single flower or the expansive majesty of a landscape. Testimonials and pricing for commissioned pieces can be found on our website: Commissions.
We look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and contribute to your creative journey. At Fine Art by Kristi Arzola, we believe in the power of art to transform spaces and lives. We hope you continue to explore, create, and stay true to yourself as an artist. Remember, every great adventure begins with a single step.
