Kristye-Dudley-Contemporary-Artist-Headshot

Welcome to my studio.

I am Kristye, a contemporary abstract painter, designer, writer, illustrator, and teacher living in Northern Virginia.

I see the figure as a shell for the spirit. I enjoy using impressionistic strokes, featureless faces, and expressive forms to exhibit the universal emotions we all share. I explore nature, life, and the beauty of emotional self-reflection in the world around us. I hope that my work will touch and inspire you.

What My Collectors Say

I love Christmas!!! This is painting is a part of a series of dancers I painted years ago, and it still brings me joy. It’s called “Cheerful Heart” and I can still remember a time back in my cheerleader/gymnastics days when I could do this jump. 🤣 I’m not a Black Friday shopper, but I do like Cyber Monday! I have a treat for you. You can have this artwork to cheer you up each day! Today all prints are 20% off. Use Code: CMSALE20 #cybermonday #cheerfulheart #happyshopping

I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving Day! We cooked, ate, played and snuggled up watching movies as a family. The holidays always bring on so many emotions for me. I love the pace of life slowing down, but it’s also a reminder of those who are no longer with us. I’ve lost both of my parents. . My father was my best bud. I miss our long talks that were full of laughter. He enjoyed being outdoors and we would always find ourselves playing in the leaves when we were supposed to be raking them. He found a way to make the most mundane things joyful. He also started counting down Christmas on Dec. 26! . My mother loved to cook and could make everything taste better with her secret ingredients. I was able to use her handwritten recipes yesterday for our meal. Alzheimer’s took her away from us before she passed away. More than anything, I wish my children had more time with them both. . Thanksgiving may be over, but the gratitude lingers. This year, I’m thankful for my family and friends, the inspiration that fills my days, the support of this amazing community, and the chance to create and share my art with the world. Here’s to finding beauty in every moment. #Gratitude #ArtJourney #ThankfulHeart #asmr #holidayvibes
Well somehow it became “Novecember”! That weird time before Thanksgiving, but before Christmas where you done know exactly what’s going on. 😂 . I set goals for this year and now I feel like the finish line is around the corner. I’m excited to share new originals and gift ideas. . I’ve created a line of D-9 inspired gifts, abstract home goods, and handmade ornaments. . I will also be sharing a new collection of original paintings. 🖼️ . #asmr #paintingart #smallbusinessowner #holidayseason #novecember
Happy Veterans Day to my husband and all those who serve. 💕 #happyveteransday #militaryspouse #militarylife
If you haven’t voted your voice matters! I’d love for you to vote for the candidate I believe will do what’s best for our country, but that’s not how this works. As a military family, we are able to vote absentee. I voted in early October. So agree or disagree, but VOTE!🗳️ ✅ . #vote #womensrights #lovethyneighbor #strolltothepolls 🩷💚
