Hi, I’m KRISTINA —artist, self-taught designer, and a grieving mother who turned heartbreak into healing.In August, it will be two years since I lost my oldest son. He was my firstborn, my best friend, and my most constant companion since I was 16. He’s also the third child I’ve had to say goodbye to. My daughter passed in 2011 due to a medical reaction. My 5-week-old son passed in the care of a sitter. Each loss shattered me—but losing my oldest lit a fire within me that I couldn’t ignore.In the darkest moment of my life, I set out on a journey of self-discovery. I was 47, barely knew how to open an email, but I was determined. I taught myself digital design, Canva, email marketing, blogging, and so much more. I poured my grief into creating—first writing my book Tears in Heaven, and then designing coloring books and prints. Every step I took was powered by love and a belief that I still had something beautiful to give to the world.This shop is my favorite part of the journey so far. Here, I combine everything I’ve learned and everything I’ve felt. I don’t stick to one style—because grief, healing, and art don’t come in one form. They’re messy, wild, beautiful things. And so is life.I hope my story and my art remind you that even when life feels impossible, there is still beauty to be found. Even when the world seems dark, you still have light to give.Thank you for being here. You’re part of this story now, too.With love,KRISTINA G,
