About Kristin Link Books
Kristin Link's art is rooted in curiosity and beauty, capturing the details of landscapes, wildlife, and seasonal changes. With a graduate certificate in science illustration from California State University, Monterey Bay, she combines storytelling with scientific precision. Her work has been featured in museum exhibits, fine art shows, periodical publications, interpretive education materials, and her own illustrated products. For the past 15 years, Kristin has called Alaska home and lives in an off-the-grid cabin near McCarthy, surrounded by the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Kristin has extensive experience in the backcountry and glaciated mountains of Alaska. From climbing Denali to guiding teenage students on wilderness pack-raft trips to skiing at -20 degrees Fahrenheit with her partner and dog on the Nizina River, she is always finding inspiration in the natural world and striving to share it with others through her art. She has been hired to create art displayed inside National Park buildings and along scenic Alaska highways, to teach and help rural students create murals reflecting their local environment and subsistence culture, and provide original artwork for museums, galleries, and individuals. Kristin teaches field-sketching workshops, as well as joins undergraduate students on wilderness courses to teach science communication and field sketching.
