ArtEclective

ArtEclective I love to create beautiful things with paint, fabric, thread, beads and photography. Kristie enjoys painting, sewing, photography and making beaded jewelry.

Creative Kristie Johnson lives in Rockford, MN about 30 miles west of Minneapolis. She lives with her sweetheart Larry and their two cats and has a beautiful light-filled studio to create in. Because she works full time at a printing company as an account manager, she spends most of her nights and weekends in her creative space.

/Art/Ec•lec•tive was born out of the words eclectic and collective

as a part of a vision that includes a wide variety of creative interests by Kristie as well as a dream to one day have a diverse collection of art and artists displayed together in one place. More recently she has been heavily interested in making bags and journal covers out of cork, felt and waxed canvas. You can find her eclectic collection of art at her Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtEclective

Dominator culture has tried to keep us all afraid, to make us choose safety instead of risk, sameness instead of diversity. Moving through that fear, finding out what connects us, revelling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community.
