Kristi Brooks (b.2002) is a painter with a BFA from the University of Texas at Austin.

I consider myself a chronically nostalgic person, often yearning for comforting moments from the past that hold precious stories. The concept of freezing moments in time is both my primary goal and motivation, and I rely on the visual language of photography to translate this feeling into my paintings. I’m drawn to images that exist in in-between spaces which offer subtle hints towards mood, sound, or even temperature. I hold these memories and faces close to my heart, and I hope that you, as the viewer, can find comfort in exploring my paintings.
