KRISTI KOZIOLEK

A lifelong student of art and nature, I live by the seasons. Spring brings new growth & energy. Summer is buzzing & busy. Fall is a place to calm down and winter a time for rest, rejuvenation, reflection and, for me, creating. In summer’s rush of garden compositions, both personally & professionally, I excitedly dream about fall & winter’s artistic explorations. Each winter is a dive into myself and memories of the other seasons through oil painting, printmaking and needle felting.

Primarily self taught after attending an arts high school, I fell deeply in love with oil painting landscapes in 2021. In October 2023, I took a felting class and was smitten. Needle felting as fine art has allowed me to stretch and grow in new ways as an artist. Using the same principles & elements of design, color theory, and eye for detail that I apply to my paintings, I’m on a quest to blend and layer fibers to render realistic scenes in wool.

I live in rural Buffalo, MN with my wonderful husband, 2 dogs, cat & 8 chickens. My garden compositions, oil paintings & felts can be seen at restaurants & homes around Minneapolis & west metro.
