Kristie Holden is a Toronto-based abstract and landscape artist known for textured works inspired by the beach and horses. Her paintings explore moments that feel light, open, and free — walking along the shoreline, riding at sunset, pausing long enough to take a deep breath and feel fully present.

Drawing from her background in Fashion Design, Kristie incorporates hand-stitched fabrics, sand, and layered textures to create tactile, immersive surfaces. Her work blends romantic atmosphere with sculptural detail and invites viewers to slow down and soften the noise of everyday life.
