ABOUT THE ARTIST

Krista Skehan is an artist, muse and healer living and working on the Big Island of Hawai’i. Her paintings are explorations of energy, conciousness, and the multidimensional nature of human experience – forms and fields that arrive as feeling before they arrive as image.

Artist Statement

I paint energy fields. Echos that live in my body. The space between what is seen and what is felt. 

Rooted in a practice of deep somatic awareness, I work from a flow state — the place where intention and instinct meet. My studio practice is tied directly to my body: to breath, to nervous system, to the ancient sensory intelligence I'm learning to trust again.

My compositions are layered and porous. I absorb texture, the elements around me, movement and emotional frequency. It all gets filtered through my consciousness and unconsciousness — from there I release whatever rises to the surface, fueled by truth and guided by trust. 

When I let go of everything external, I can only hear the moment. What is there is honored through my brush.
WHY I PAINT

I’m a healer in the process of healing. If my expression sparks an aliveness inside another human, I’m living my purpose.
