Kristin is from Winston-Salem and has always been passionate about advocating for the importance of the arts.  Her education and past work experience led her to her involvement with the arts on a more community level.

​

She started Catbird Art & Events in 2016 with a main focus to collaborate with local small businesses to organize fun vendor events that would allow the community opportunities to support local, small & handmade! Wondering where the name CATBIRD comes from? It was the nickname given to her growing up by her grandparents!

​

In her spare time she enjoys life with her husband, their twins & 2 dogs as well as teaching art for a national online school and spending whatever extra time she can gardening, digging in the dirt and finding her way to the beach.
