KRISTIN KOEFOED
Bio
Kristin Koefoed is a Philly-based Jersey-grown artist with a passion for vibrant colors and expressive figures. The themes in Kristin's work range from the spiritual to the silly, and are reflective of the artist's genuine enthusiasm for everything, from the Absolute to the Absurd. Ever seeking to capture elements of that which connects us all, Kristin relies heavily on the use of symbolism and humor.
She has designed album covers and gig posters for local musicians and friends, as well as hand painted art guitars for multiple big name bands to auction for charity in partnership with the art collective Punk Rock and Paintbrushes. She has painted murals for businesses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and two of her murals can be seen at FDR Park in Philadelphia. Kristin's art has appeared in Royal Flush Magazine, MHB zine, McJawn zine, and as Card 7 of The Unity Oracle deck by Blue Angel Publishing. Her hand drawn lettering appears on the first page of every chapter in the book JOY: Journey of Yoga by Vijayendra Pratap, Ph.D., D.Y.P. Her work has appeared at exhibits and events in Philly, NYC, Los Angeles, Pasadena, San Diego, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Washington D.C. and Copenhagen.
In addition to creating art, Kristin also enjoys performing, experiencing live music, escaping into nature, hanging out with animals, and working gigs that allow her to interact with a wide array of people, sharing her interests with the public. Her current part-time exploits include working in a New Age bookstore and teaching private art lessons.
