Kristian Jenkins

Kristian M Jenkins is a Lubbock Native, born in 1988.  She attended Texas Tech University from 2006-2010 to pursue a dual degree in Visual Art and Psychology.  A few years later she attended South Plains College where she completed her Associate Degree in Visual Art in 2016.  She continues to live in Lubbock pursuing a career as a Business Development Director for a Hospice Company, where she thrives on the divine intervention of impacting people and creates art in every spare moment with the same motivation. 

Kristian began developing her skills at a young age and participated in Youth Art Month, Scholastic Art Events, and received a Gold Key Award for her Senior Portfolio as well as having a piece displayed in New York.  She primarily preferred drawing but has grown to love experimenting with acrylic, ink, modeling paste, mixed media, fluid art and photography.  Her unique work is inspired by life, personal growth, and often just the desire to accomplish a new challenge. She has participated in First Friday Art Trail, Broadway Contemporary Fine Art Gallery, and does a variety of commissions. She often donates her work to help raise money for foundations like the Southwest Parkinson’s Society, the American Cancer Society, and the Alzheimer’s Association as way of giving back in honor of people that have influenced her art, her life, and her heart. 

Her desired mission is to combine “life” with skill and create work that impacts and inspires others and to fill walls with her work and fill hearts with her message.
