I am a human, who enjoys making mixed media 2-D and 3-D art, among many other hobbies and interests.

Art: After graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in 2014 with degrees in photography and sculpture, I moved back home (dun, Dun, DUN) to Wilmington, NC. From 2014 to 2018, I shared studio spaces in Acme Art Studios and Wabi Sabi Warehouse and worked a myriad of hands- on, art-centered jobs while curating and hosting community art experiences. Two fabulous years in Portland, OR lead me home again to work in the film industry - I currently work in the art department making and handling props or art directing for independent film productions. I’ve recently been assisting in scanning, printing, and editing photos and artwork at the Frame Outlet, alongside gigs at Peace Rose Montessori School, the Cameron Art Museum, UNC-Wilmington, and Honey Head Films.

And Other Things: My favorite hobbies lately are taking care of house plants, cooking, and nesting. I feel most connected to my childhood memories when exploring the country, diggin in dirt, eating good food, neighborhood roaming, or making things. I love people and forming connections, and take after my aunts as a hostess, my mom as a free spirit, my brothers as creative, my dad as hardworking, my cousins as empowered, my nana as bold, my grandma as kind, my uncles as a protector, and my nephews with a curious lust for life.

Kristen Crouch (b. 1991) received a BFA in photography with a minor in sculpture from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) in Savannah, GA (2014). She has had solo exhibitions in Savannah (I Will Live On [2014]) and her hometown of Wilmington (Landscape and Memory [2018], a collaboration with LOCAL: Art + Ideas). She has also organized exhibitions in Wilmington, including Full Frontal (2017). Omni (2016), and Thirty Under 30: An International Young Artist Group Exhibition (2015). Crouch has participated in group shows in Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York City, and North Carolina. From 2017 to 2020, Kristen served as the curator and art director for the Museum of Dead Words, an interactive hip-hop theatre experience that seeks to inspire empathy in the mercurial age of the Internet through the exploration of words and communication styles. Kristen lives and (mostly) works in Wilmington, North Carolina.
