Kristin Texeira (b. 1988) creates abstract paintings inspired by her interactions with people and place. Her use of color is channeled from her sensitivity to memory. She often creates “memory maps” that tell of a specific moment in time. Texeira graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2010. She has exhibited work via Uprise Art in New York City, with Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco, Brilliant Champions in Brooklyn, Kallenback Gallery in Amsterdam, Stephanie Chefas in Portland as well as other galleries across the country and abroad. She has been awarded residencies that include the Varda Artist Residency, The Jaunt, The Sam and Adele Golden Foundation Artist Residency, Vermont Studio Center, Alfred and Trafford Klots International Program for Artists, the Albers’ Foundation Artist Residency and most recently the Google Artist in Residence Program. She currently lives and works in Barryville, N
