S T O R Y T E L L E R T H R O U G H C O N T E M P O R A R Y A R T & D E S I G NKris Keys is an American visual artist and fashion designer whose art explores themes of memory, identity, lineage, and healing. She began painting as a child dealing with hereditary blood and used art as a form of relaxation and expression. She transforms personal and ancestral narratives, especially tied to her health and family memories into visually rich, emotionally resonant collections of art, tea, fashion, and experiences. Her work invites audiences to slow down, connect with themselves, and find solace through beauty.
Inner Discovery Through Art
Inner Discovery Through Art is a reflective performance and workshop designed to help participants slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore creativity as a wellness practice. Kris shares her story with an audience about her life overcoming an illness and achieving her dreams through art. Using watercolors as a medium to help you to see yourself, decrease anxiety and heal. Through Kris’ swift, soft and meditative method of painting, she invites others to see themselves through her story. Kris will be returning to Los Angeles this summer to bring this experience to the Los Angeles Arboretum and Botanic Gardens. This unforgettable guided performance and session combines mindful painting, storytelling, breath, and observation of nature to encourage presence and self-discovery through art. July 26, 2026.
