Kerstin Glaess is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist working primarily in oil, collage, and photography. Her paintings are based on her own images and memories from her worldwide military child adventures; flora, fauna, & landscapes from her various homes (two continents, two countries, eleven states, one U.S. Territory, and counting!); and her personal nature collection. Her collages and drawings focus on the shared human experience teasing the borders between dreamscapes and reality.
​
Kerstin's childhood and young adulthood centered around creativity, though she did not look at her art practice beyond a self-care outlet until her university years. While there, as a side hustle, she sold originals and commissioned works to friends, colleagues, and on Etsy, while exploring her own creative interests on the weekends. She taught middle and high school before pursuing higher education for herself.

She sells originals, commissions, as well as prints of her work through her online shop, at select physical locations, and at Art Festivals. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and English Literature from the University of Mississippi, and a Master of Fine Arts in Cinema from the City University of New York - Brooklyn College. She is currently a MA in Art Education Candidate. She adjuncts at local colleges, teaches painting classes, and is an educational consultant for the Allen County Public Library Maker Labs. She splits her time between Florida's Emerald Coast and Indiana with her partner and cat.
