Kristin Texeira is a Massachusetts-born abstract painter who has recently drawn creative energy from Newfoundland, Canada. Raised on Cape Cod and trained at Massachusetts College of Art and Design, she translates memories into luminous fields of colour, using gouache, oil and collage on paper and panel. Her process begins with sketchbook notes about time and place; she then mixes soft pastels and earthy neutrals to evoke the temperature of a moment rather than its exact appearance, allowing the paper to breathe between strokes so light appears embedded in the paint.

A 2019 residency through The Jaunt sent her to Newfoundland’s wind-scoured coast, where fog, fishing stages and iceberg fragments offered new palettes of grey, salt white and cold turquoise. The resulting series captures the island’s vast horizons and sudden weather shifts, turning open skies into horizontal bands of shifting hue that feel both serene and alert. Back in her Brooklyn studio she layers translucent coats, sometimes adding handwritten diary fragments so the finished piece functions as a painted journal.

Exhibitions at Paradigm Gallery, Louis Buhl Detroit and online platforms such as Artsy have placed her work in collections across North America and Europe, while interviews in Metal Magazine and Brixton Broadcast underline her belief that colour can store emotion like a battery. By preserving the hush of Newfoundland cliffs and the warmth of Cape Cod dunes within abstract veils, Kristin Texeira invites viewers to inhabit their own recollections, proving that memory and landscape can coexist on a single luminous sheet.
