Meet Kristen Laczi

Artist, Mother, and Nature Enthusiast

Hello and welcome! I’m Kristen Laczi, an artist and stay-at-home mother living just outside Buffalo, NY. I’m so glad you’re here.

Before stepping into full-time motherhood, I worked as a corporate graphic designer for over a decade. When my second son was born, I put my career on pause to embrace a slower, more intentional season of life. While I cherished those moments with my boys, I also felt a profound shift—an unspoken loss of self. That’s when painting became more than just a creative outlet; it became a passion, a form of meditation, and a way to reconnect with myself.

Beyond art, I find joy in nature’s quiet beauty, savoring hot cups of coffee, listening to uplifting podcasts, and sharing deep, meaningful conversations with fellow creatives, friends, and family.

About My Art

My work is impressionistic, deeply rooted in themes of motherhood, nature, and personal experience. I primarily paint with acrylics and watercolors, often moving fluidly between the two.

Before our second son was born, my husband and I spent a few wonderful years living on Long Island, where daily walks along the beach filled my soul with inspiration. The coastal landscapes I paint today are often drawn from those cherished memories or our more recent travels. Now, I find endless inspiration in wide-open fields and peaceful woodland walks with my boys—watching them explore, laugh, and experience the world with fresh eyes.

My Process

I paint quickly and intuitively, allowing emotion and energy to guide each brushstroke. Every piece is a reflection of movement, feeling, and presence in the moment. My process is meditative, bringing a deep sense of joy and peace—and my greatest hope is that my work evokes the same emotions in you.
