2021-06-212h 33Pierson’s PodcastArtist Interview Series | Kristi PonderKristi Ponder's Statement:
My artwork focuses on the commonalities that the human race shares, instead of the differences that pull us apart. Each artwork visually represents a location meant to elicit certain emotions and responses from the viewer. My artwork reminds the viewers of different emotions or experiences that person is connected to, while linking them to the larger theme that so many others have experienced.
Through contemplative landscapes with large colorful skies, I emphasize the vastness of nature and the smallness of humans to remind us of our relationship to nature.
