About the Artist:
Kristopher Lionel attended the art program at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY, where he received his BFA with a concentration in sculpture (graduating cum laude and being awarded Departmental Distinction in Art). He then enrolled in the postgraduate sculpture program at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where he received his MFA. In school, Kristopher developed his interest and skills in wood and metalworking. After graduating, he moved to Atlanta, GA, where he worked as a metal fabricator. Applying this experience, Kristopher moved to his home state of Connecticut to launch a business designing and making artistic furniture. He ran his business until 2009 when he decided to close his furniture shop to focus singularly on his life’s purpose—to make art. His portfolio includes paintings, wall art, and sculpture. In April 2022, Kristopher’s painting, ‘Three Little Birds Hang By My Doorstep (The Happy War)’, was selected by juror Lily Wei to be included in the Silvermine Galleries’ centennial celebration exhibit, ‘Future Perfect/Imperfect: The Next Century’. This show resulted in Kristopher being invited to join the Silvermine Guild of Artists.
