Using local florals and fauna, Kristin creates lush modern photographs inspired by historic paintings of the Dutch Golden Age.
I'm Kristin Sjaarda.
I am a fine art photographer and I make pottery. I got there by being curious.
Since I was a kid, I’ve loved doing anything creative. I made stuff out of everything. I would spontaneously make jewelry or paint on the floor beside my bed. Even today, my photography studio is my bedside table.
Art in the domestic sphere.
Keep at it.
My wedding ring made of gold and mammoth tusk.
Anyone who has ever had to pack a suitcase and leave their home due to war.
Leaving commercial photography to raise 3 kids, then coming back to fine art photography.

Watching the first tulip buds poke out of the mud in the garden. Spring is coming!
This is a family making the coolest fanny packs out of their home. I met Le Ching (lee-ching, she/her) when she invited me to be a part of her back yard pop-up last summer. I have more Roncy Packs than I can wear but I use them all, all the time!

Angela and I have only met through Instagram, trading comments and commiserating about the ups and downs of social media. She has a beautifully consistent style and incredible product. I wish I was getting married again so that I could get her to do the flowers.

Beautiful, wearable. Colourful cotton clothes and accessories. I have many Kate shirts and dresses and wear them all the time. Great for layering. Made consciously and fairly.

Brooke is a special person. She runs a store on Roncesvalles that features hand-made and local goods, but she is an activist and a super caring soul. Her honesty and compassion were essential to me, especially during the very rough years in business during the pandemic. Her outreach into the community makes her store much more than that.
