About Kristin Sorensen

Working primarily in oil and watercolor, Kristin paints the things in life that bring joy and peace — things that honor the emotional weight of lived-in spaces and authenticity. Her watercolor home portraits and architectural paintings celebrate the character and memory embedded in houses and buildings, often serving as meaningful heirlooms for families and collectors. These works reflect her deep belief that the places we inhabit quietly shape who we are.

Her family portraiture is deeply informed by her love for the realness of peple and a life lived in prayer. Through prayer, observation, and artistic meditation, she creates from a place of resonance and reverence.

Favoring color that leans brighter than strict realism, Kristin paints with a sense of joy. Her work seeks to elevate the familiar and illuminate the sacred within the everyday, creating paintings that feel both intimate and luminous.

Kristin lives and works with her family, where faith, marriage, motherhood, and home continue to shape both the work she makes and the person she is becoming.
